Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, like his players, heard about the NBA's decision to suspend the season while in the third quarter of their game against the Denver Nuggets.
That ended up being the last game completed in the league Wednesday night, and the Mavericks avoided their first three-game losing streak before the NBA season's suspension "until further notice" after a Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus.
"Very concerned, but it's not necessarily about basketball. Obviously this is much bigger than basketball," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said.
