With the NBA set to resume its season in a bubble in Orlando, Florida, later in July, the Bleacher Report took a look at when the league was initially suspended four months earlier.

Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell and several reporters discussed the March 11 game against the Oklahoma City Thunder that was called off just before the start of the game, leading to the interruption of the season.

Mitchell, who later tested positive for the coronavirus, also detailed his next few weeks in quarantine.

Ernie Johnson, Jemele Hill, and more participated in the short film to discuss the rare moment in NBA and United States history.
