The NBA has announced that all matches will be suspended from Thursday until further notice, after a Utah Jazz player tested positive for coronavirus. The NHL and MLS later announced the stoppage of its respective seasons, the latter for 30 days. The MLB has delayed the start of its 2020 season by at least two weeks due to the "national emergency". The other major US sports league - the NFL - is currently in its off-season, although the 2020 Draft in Las Vegas is scheduled to start on 23 April. The NBA's announcement was made just before the Jazz game against the Oklahoma Thunder was due to start on Wednesday.
