All major sport in the United States has been suspended amid the coronavirus outbreak.

The NBA has announced that all matches will be suspended until further notice, after a Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive.

The National Hockey League and Major League Soccer later announced the stoppage of its respective seasons, the latter for 30 days.

Major League Baseball has delayed the start of its 2020 season by at least two weeks due to the "national emergency".

The other major US sports league - the NFL - is currently in its off-season, although the 2020 Draft in Las Vegas is scheduled to start on 23 April.

Men's and women's college basketball has also been cancelled, just a day after it was announced it would initially continue without spectators.
