Basketball: FIBA, Euroleague suspend all competitions

The sporting world is seeing more chaos amid the coronavirus pandemic as the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and Euroleague Thursday announced suspending all competitions.

The development comes after NBA suspended all regular season games as Utah Jazz's all-star center Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.

FIBA said it is suspending all competitions indefinitely from Friday to protect the health and safety of players, coaches, officials and fans.

FIBA will continue to monitor the situation on a daily basis and will evaluate the options for continuation.

The suspension includes games in the Basketball Champions League, which is a rival competition to the better known Euroleague, and the second-tier FIBA Europe Cup. The Champions League is part-way through its playoffs.
