The fact that Jazz star Donovan Mitchell tested positive for coronavirus has touched the Mets as well.

Donovan Mitchell Sr., the Mets’ director of player relations and community engagement, will be tested for the virus, the Mets said.

“We have been in regular communication with medical professionals and public health authorities over the past several weeks. When news surfaced (Wednesday) night of the situation involving the Utah Jazz, we immediately contacted Donovan Mitchell Sr. to advise him to not report at our facility this morning,” the Mets said in a statement. “Upon learning today that his son, Donovan Mitchell Jr., tested positive for the Coronavirus, we brought that fact to the attention of our medical team, who recommended, as a precautionary measure, that Donovan Sr. be tested, and we are making those arrangements. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and the medical staff will advise us if any additional testing becomes advisable.”

The Jazz played at Madison Square Garden on March 4, and Donovan Mitchell Sr. attended. He returned to Florida the following day and has been regularly at work at the Mets’ spring training complex through Wednesday.

Donovan Jr. became the second Jazz player known to have tested positive for the virus. Jazz center Rudy Gobert had tested positive Wednesday. That was the trigger that led the NBA to suspend operations.

It is not publicly known when the Jazz players contracted the coronavirus, but the Knicks are among the teams that the Jazz had played in a 10-day period before the revelation about Gobert, and players from those opposing squads have been told to self-quarantine, according to ESPN.
