NBA Jazz player Joe Ingles would quit basketball instantly to protect his family from coronavirus
Utah Jazz veteran Rudy Gobert tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month — marking the first sight of the virus in the NBA, which quickly prompted the league to suspend operations — and guard Donovan Mitchell followed suit.Though Ingles tested negative for the coronavirus, and he’s self-isolating with his wife and three-year-old twins Jacob and Mila at their Salt Lake City home, his fears about it haven’t shrunk.
“If you had to tell me that you could never play again to protect Jacob from this, I would walk away, fly to Australia and never play another game in my life and be very content with it,” Ingles said on Tuesday, via The Athletic. “I could walk out of this gym now, in the clothes I’m in and go to the airport. I would have zero issues because I wouldn’t want to put my family through that. I don’t want to put Jacob through that.
Story continuesAt this point, it’s still anyone’s guess when the NBA will be able to start back up again. Some, like Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, think it can be as soon as mid-May. According to ESPN, the league is looking at a best-case scenario to return around mid-June.
