utah jazz all-star rudy gobert tested positive. i want you to see what i think is stung of rudy gobert in utah on monday. he met with the press and give him the benefit of the doubt, joking around, watch him. he reaches over, touches all the microphones, making light of the coronavirus and then a couple days later his team, the utah jazz, they are down in oklahoma city playing a against and you know what happened after that. here, this is mark cuban, the owner of the dallas mavericks looking at his phone and realizing the nba decided to suspend all activity from tonight on. stunning news. here is mark cuban of the mavericks immediately after. >> this is a pandemic of global pandemic where people's lives are at stake. you know, i am more worried about my kids and my mom who is 82-years-old and telling her to stay in the house than i am about when we play our next game. >> all right. between when games are resumed and now the nba will get together and decide next steps, but this thing really escalated prior to the an

gobert apologizing, writing, "at the time, i didn't know i was infected." and arguably hollywood's most relatable star, tom hanks, revealing he, too, has contracted the virus. the oscar winner, who has diabetes, posting this picture to instagram from australia, saying, "we felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches." hanks' wife, rita wilson, who is a breast cancer survivor, also testing positive for the virus, days after performing in front a sold out crowd in brisbane. the star of "castaway" and "saving private ryan" revealing that they wanted to play things right and get tested. the closure of disneyland part of the ripple effect of an executive order issued by california's governor. >> we do have in this executive order the ability to commandeer existing private sector assets, including hotels and motels. >> reporter: three empty hotels already taken over. more have been earmarked. this comes as california still grappling with the last few hundred passengers aboard that stricken cruise ship. this is the second outbreak aboard a princess cr

this is why the diagnosis is so important of rudy gobert. a player in the league who is now dealing with this virus. and when you talk about all the revenue that's brought in with the nba and the comments that lebron james made that he walked back and said this is about health and public safety of everybody, tv revenue was such an important part of this because the league brings in a lot of money on television. so, i think it's an example of all these leagues waiting in the the last possible second, trying to do everything they can to move forward to play these games, have these games on television. now you have a player diagnosed and you can't justify playing these games at all. and that's the significance of it is that unfortunately it is a massive financial hit across the board, across the sports landscape. but now we are at the point where this is so important, it is so widespread that unfortunately the nba has said we're not doing this at all. and i would not be surprised if the ncaa and nhl and other leagues followed suit. >> andy, the

for gobert, they decided tojust pause, try the positive diagnosis for gobert, they decided to just pausestan from espn sportscenter and antonello, to stay with us. but ijust want to make our audience aware that in athens today the olympic flame was lit in a scaled down ceremony. questions continue to be asked about whether event will take place in tokyo. in a press conference today president trump suggested that the olympics could be delayed a year in order for the world to combat the crisis. of course, it is in summer, and a lot of sports are spending until may, so maybe there is time, so we will see. let's turn live to italy, because, of course, it's pretty grim in italy at the moment. over 1,000 people have died. and as you heard from the anaesthatistjust a few minutes ago, there is awful pressure now on italian doctors who are swamped with news cases. the foreign minister luigi di maio told the bbc, the government is confident these new restriction will work. he is pointing to evidence from towns in northern italy, where the outbreak began, where they have seemingly stopped new infec

rudy gobert of the utah jazz tested positive for the coronavirus.stunning video from two days ago when gobert after a press conference jokingly touched everybody's microphone. and watch it again. he reaches over and talking about the coronavirus at the time. so you can imagine the implications there. he tested positive earlier today. which has caused the nba to suspend the rest of its actions right now. we'll have more news on this as it continues. >>> but then, an unprecedented move in oklahoma city. just before the utah jazz was ready to tip off in oklahoma city, the pa announcer suddenly addressed the crowd. >> the game tonight has been postponed. take your time in leaving the arena tonight. do so in an orderly fashion. thank you for coming out tonight. >> keep in mind when that announcement was made, nobody knew that gobert had been tested positive for the coronavirus. at the time, all we heard was that two jazz players, rudy gobert and emanuel mudiay have been taken to a medical center to be tested there. is conflicting information as to whethe

rudy gobert was taken to the hospital. he tested positive for the virus. fans were ushered out by police after initially being told the game would be delayed. >> i hope it ain't the coronavirus. and i asked one of the deputy right here, he said somebody was sick. i said, oh man. >> it's understandable. the player safety is definitely utmost importance. i can't be upset over them canceling a game like that. i mean, this is a severe crisis. >> yeah, the order came hours after a golden state warriors brush off a recommendation to shut down last night's game against the clippers. coming up in sports, we're going to look at how other leagues are dealing with this unprecedented situation. >> wow. >> so to be clear, nba suspended indefinitely. >> indefinitely. >> and major league baseball also making some alterations to their schedule already. >> babe ruth series is gone. we'll talk about that more coming up. i think it's a fluid situation. it could change by tomorrow morning. >> sure. >> thanks, dennis. >> meanwhile, the warriors released a statement tonight say

but then rudy gobert and another player was tested for coronavirus and gobert tested positive. minutes after the test as you see the jazz center there came up, the league suspended play for the rest of the season. players playing a real game with no fans at all. done, not happening. we do not have any time line or guidance on how long the season may be suspended. >> the coronavirus is coming and this is inevitable. the nba feels they have to shut everything down because everybody rudy gobert played against in the last two weeks now has to get tested. essentially we're at a standstill. who knows how they complete the finals. just hours ago the league was talking about pushing everything to july in terms of the finals because -- more questions than answers. ♪ do you recall, not long ago ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ all we needed somebody to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ all we need is someone to lean on ♪ >>> we do need to check on our weathe

things get even more perculiar, because the player at the centre of this, the french player rudy goberthaved in a rather strange way at a press conference just last week. he, in a slightly strange coronavirusjoke, had deliberately touched all the equipment of the journalst. here it is — a rather odd joke, but one that has now massively backfired because he is now reportedly the player at the centre of the entire nba being postponed. nobody particularly impressed with him today. that is for certain. finally, lets return a little closer to home. lots of discussion in recent days about the six nations with two of the final—weekend matches postponed — but wales‘ match with scotland in cardiff on saturday is due to go ahead as planned.thats still facing a very uncertain conclusion. this afternoon, its been announced that the pro“; has been suspended indefinitely. round 14 of the competition for clubs from scotland, ireland, wales, italy and south africa was due to take place next weekend. that now has been postponed.“ that now has been postponed. is a growing list, isn't it? adam wilde, than

be safe rather than sorry as for rudy gobert. it wasn't very long ago that things didn't seem as serious as they are now. i'm sure when he did it at the time he had no idea what the ramifications were unfortunately, but i think you're right, he may be somebody that's scapegoated because of this but the more important thing is that from these moments on, the league's trying to do the best thing in a way to contain what's going on. >> so mark cuban yesterday said something that is saying what we all feel, this is bigger than basketball and bigger than sports. do you think the leagues now are going to take that into account. do you think refunds for people with tickets will happen from the sports league? >> as far as the nba goes, they'll got to figure out what they're going to do this year but temporarily suspending the year, they give themselves time to make a decision. they could make the season go longer and push everything back a month or so in the hopes that everything gets better. they could theoretically go right to the play
