When Utah Jazz All Star big man Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday night, the question became just how far it had spread. The Jazz had just been on an extended road trip, and its recent opponents in turn had since faced other NBA teams.

Plus, how many other people do NBA players come into contact with daily? Aside from players, other people exposed could have included coaches, officials, arena workers and fans.

It appears one fan may have contracted COVID-19, better known as coronavirus, from Gobert, but there's no way to prove it for certain.

Sam Read of NBC10 WJAR in Providence, R.I., reported that two children in Westerly, R.I., have tested positive for coronavirus. One of them, per Read, recently received an autograph from Gobert at a Boston Celtics game.

Brian Amaral of the Providence Journal reported that one child is in second grade while the other is in preschool. It's unclear which child received the autograph from Gobert.

Gobert and the Jazz played in Boston on March 6, five days before Gobert tested positive for coronavirus. The big Frenchman wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday that he “had no idea” he was infected, and the Jazz said his symptoms diminished throughout Wednesday. Gobert was listed as questionable until a few minutes before tipoff in Oklahoma City against the Thunder.

Shortly after news broke of Gobert’s positive test, the NBA announced it was suspending its season indefinitely. Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell later also tested positive for coronavirus, but the Jazz said no other members of the organization tested positive at the arena in Oklahoma City.

Gobert infamously mocked protective policies put in place when he touched each microphone at his table after a recent interview session, and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Jazz teammates were miffed by Gobert’s cavalier attitude toward the outbreak that has since been designated as a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

“I hope my story serves as a warning and causes everyone to take this seriously.” Gobert wrote on Instagram. “I will do whatever I can to support using my experience as (a) way to educate others and prevent the spread of this virus.”

Gobert was the first major professional athlete in American sports to test positive for coronavirus, and the diagnosis kicked off a rapid reaction. MLB and the NHL have both suspended their seasons, and the NCAA of course canceled its men's and women's basketball tournaments as well as spring sports championships. The NCAA has since announced it will grant athletes in spring sports another year of eligibility, as most of the season is canceled. It hasn't said yet whether men's and women's basketball players will get similar relief.
