MILWAUKEE — The Celtics were the embodiment of the concern and uncertainty enveloping the league late Wednesday night as the team entered quarantine amid a league suspension of play.

The NBA had earlier in the evening announced that it was suspending the season until further notice because a Utah Jazz player, identified by multiple sources as Rudy Gobert, had preliminarily tested positive for COVID-19.

There was increased worry around the Celtics and among some TD Garden workers because the club had hosted the Jazz there last Friday. (The Celts also played the Jazz in Salt Lake City on February 26.) Those coronavirus concerns were then supported by an ESPN report that teams that have played Utah in the past 10 days have been told to self-quarantine.

Meanwhile, the Celtics were in limbo here in the hours after the suspension of games was announced. They were preparing to play the first place Bucks in a nationally televised game Thursday, but they were left trying to find out when charter flight arrangements could be made to get them home.

“I think the whole thing is pretty insane how it unraveled so fast,” Gordon Hayward told the Herald. “Like, we were just at dinner talking about how we were going to play the Bucks and everything, and then all of a sudden it’s like, boom, the season’s suspended.

“So it’s just in a matter of hours we go from watching film on the Bucks and then now we’re worried about how we’re going to get home — if we’re going to get home.”

The basketball uncertainty is easily becoming surpassed by personal anxiety. The players and team personnel will be returning to family and friends, and they are left to wonder if the virus could be passed on then or if it already has.

“I’m kind of worried about (wife) Robyn and her being pregnant,” said Hayward. “Like, should I go home? I want to make sure I’m not infected or anything.

“It’s definitely all come alive really fast, it seems like.”

Reached Wednesday night, a Celtic official said the team was still sorting through the details and that it was premature to make a statement at that point.
