Adam Silver said that the NBA reached out to Rudy Gobert to develop a PSA to help combat the spread of COVID-19.
Gobert tested positive for the virus, leading the NBA to suspend the league for at least 30 days.
The NBA will not fine or suspend Gobert for his actions leading up to the positive test, including playfully touching the microphone of media members.
"We actually think we can use this hiatus to use this platform we have on social media to help people deal with this disease," said Silver.
