The NBA took the unprecedented decision to suspend the season on Wednesday night after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive.
In the past, Love has been very open about his personal struggles with anxiety and depression and his gesture did not go unnoticed. The Cavs thanked their star through their official Twitter account, as did Love's teammate Larry Nance.
"I reached out to the folks at the arena and our folks at the Mavs to find out what it would cost to financially support people who aren't going to be able to come to work—you know, they get paid by the hour, and this is their source of income," Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said during a press conference Wednesday.
"We'll do some things there. We may ask them to go do some volunteer work in exchange, but we've already started the process of having a program in place. I don't have any details to give, but it's certainly something that's important to me." According to The Athletic, Atlanta Hawks owner Tony Ressler looks set to follow Cuban's example."I know the Hawks are doing the same thing," Cuban was quoted as saying.Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus"The NBA is suspending game play following the conclusion of Wednesday's schedule of games until further notice," the NBA said in a statement.
