In the NBA, yes. And from what I remember everything started to shut down after he tested positive for covid.
TRUE. Golbert was playing for the Utah Jazz and publicly mocked getting tested for COVID. A few days later the results were given less than an hour before a game at OKC. Ticket holders were told the game was cancelled, but not why. The next day the NBA shut down, quickly followed by other shutdowns.
Appropriately, the end of the shutdowns also occurred in Oklahoma in June, when Trump held an indoor rally in Tulsa.
