RIFT IN JAZZ LOCKER ROOM

I don't think either of them gave the virus to each other. I think they contracted it on a road trip and it didn't show signs of life until this recent fiasco. With all of the contact they have with opposing players and fans not to mention every player touching the same ball over and over and grabbing and pushing each other for positions, it makes more sense that it was contracted by one of those means.

But since Rudy was technically diagnosed first, he is taking the brunt of the criticism.
 
Man people love to create drama. This is DW vs Jerry or Jerry vs AK or AK vs DW. Players and people don't always get along but DM and Rudy will work it out. I don't get this Rudy and DM hated each other before this. They did commercials together and I always heard each other praise the other guy. Rudy acted foolishly but he didn't know he was infected at the time. He apologized for acting immaturely but he isn't the first nor was he the last.

The comments that this virus is overblown shows ignorance. It is true the majority of people don't die but the morality is higher than the flu and people are dying. I just hope no one that anyone knows has to go through the pain of losing a loved one (no i haven't either) but this isn't like a boo boo you put a band-aid on. I support the players and I am not going to jump to conclusion or make drama when there isn't any. I hope everyone is safe and well.

Right, I mean we’ve all been there.
 
Well, the good and bad news is Conley Island might not opt in the player option this summer and the bad is no free agent nba players might not want to come to Utah because of the Rudy/Donovan virus situation.

It doesnt seem like Rudy and Donovan had a rift before this. They seem like they were very very close... At least based on the fact that they are the only two on the team with it. What kind of extra contact were they having? Most have been close contact.

I told my partner I was getting the STI before I got it...

I cannot believe some of you are going at Donovan over this. Have you heard the guy speak? Of course he wrote the Instagram post. That's who he is and who he has always represented himself to be. He is the class act youngster of the NBA.

Some of you idiots are gonna hide behind your biased love for Gobert and maybe irritate Donovan to a point where he might want out. I like Rudy, but our future is Donovan. When times get tough against good teams and especially in the playoffs, we can't rely on Gobert. Recently, Rudy is throwing temper tantrums all over the court and it's Donovan there trying to calm him down.

Get the story straight. Donovan has a right to be irritated if his teammate gave him a pandemic illness. Anybody would have that right. Regardless, Donovan didn't come out and bash Rudy over this. You are all reading between the lines.

What Woj is being fed and reported isn’t between the lines. I’ve literally seen TWICE where Donovan has posted something on twitter where he copied and pasted the text and forgot to delete the part where his agent was telling him to post it.

I guess the agent is in his ear giving him all his speaking points in interviews too.....

Rudy acted like a moron in the media room and probably acted much worse to teammates in the lockerroom. Rudy is to blame for HIS actions. If teammate A is upset that he might have gotten this illness from irresponsible teammate B, why again do we have any reason to be upset at teammate A?

Donovan being in the crosshairs on this one makes zero sense.

I disagree. It's about team unity. Scream at him in private. Get the coach or something else to mediate a discussion, in ****ing private. But don't air the dirty laundry and publicly Chuck him under the bus and refuse to support him in his apology. It's a maturity thing to me. Grow the **** up an realize it's bigger than just you.

You are basing everything off assumptions. Is there concrete evidence Donovan said anything in public or just innuendo from his IG post?

I trust Woj to a degree, but "teammates upset at Rudy" could be every body.
