Derrick Rose Practices Social Distancing With Kids

It’s been six official days without the NBA.

The coronavirus put the NBA on a hiatus after the league officially cancelled its season on the evening of March 11th after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for the virus.

His teammate Donovan Mitchell later tested positive.

With the season on hold, Detroit Pistons player Derrick Rose is spending free-time with his family.  Yes, he is still abiding by the guidelines and recommendations from the CDC and the NBA, but his lockdown includes his wife Alaina and his son London and daughter Layla.

“DRose taking this lockdown that serious that he locking his own kids out the house,” the tweet captioned.

With a new issued guideline for Americans to completely avoid social interactions of more than 10 people and to strictly limit travel, the hopes of the NBA to return anytime soon is highly unlikely.
