Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert said on Sunday he is “feeling a little better” in a video updating his status since testing positive for coronavirus.
“I’m going to start by saying thank you to all the people that have been supportive and for all the positive energy. It really means a lot,” he said in a video posted on the NBA.com Twitter feed.
“As for myself, I’ve been feeling a little better every single day thanks to the healthcare people of Utah and Oklahoma City and all the great people around me.”
Gobert, 27, was the first NBA player to test positive for coronavirus on Wednesday, prompting the league to suspend its regular season indefinitely, just minutes after the Jazz and Thunder were set to tip-off in Oklahoma City.
He has since apologised for acting carelessly before learning of the diagnosis.
