Rudy Gobert Questionable With Illness Two Days After Mocking Coronavirus Panic
By Karl Rasmussen
When it comes to the coronavirus, some people are taking a more relaxed stance than others. While some individuals prefer to sterilize virtually everything in their surroundings, others laugh in the face of COVID-19 and show no fear.
Rudy Gobert fell into the latter of the two subcategories, but it looks like his heroic defiance of the virus has left him in poor conditions.
Just two days after making a point to touch each and every microphone during an interview session, following a discussion of the team's COVID-19 procedures, Gobert has popped up on the Jazz's injury report with a questionable tag due to, you guessed it, an illness.
Well, Rudy. You absolutely did this to yourself.
The Jazz didn't specify the nature of Gobert's illness, but we're confident his recent health scare will cause him to change his tune regarding basic sanitation. Don't be surprised if the center has a Purell bottle stationed nearby at all times from now on.
Hopefully Gobert is not actually dealing with COVID-19, but it's a pretty absurd turnaround to see him out with an illness less than 48 hours after mocking the widespread virus.
