Mark Lindsay was on the court when the NBA canceled the game between the Thunder and Jazz. His wife was back home, serving as a frontline doctor.
Renata Burigatto received a text message from her husband, NBA referee Mark Lindsay, 30 minutes after the scheduled tip-off of the game he was assigned to officiate between the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder on March 11.
“It was a very powerful night for us both on a personal and professional level,” Burigatto said. “I very busy in the hospital, working seven days in a row, 13 hours a day. Trying [to] balance that with trying to convey safety was challenging. We also have three young children at home. We were trying to keep them safe and consider whether we were going to keep them in school at that time.
Amid that, they have embraced comforting treasures, such as family time that may never happen like this again and the amazing work and dedication of health-care professionals. He and the rest of the crew for the night tried to approach the game as normal as possible. They had their morning meeting and lunch together.
Along with the Jazz team and traveling party and some reporters, Lindsay, Fraher and Taylor also were tested. Lindsay got his negative result back the following day and booked the next flight home. Because of potential exposure to the virus, Lindsay self-isolated in a house owned by in-laws who relocated but hadn’t sold their home.
“But I know I will probably never have this extended time to be at home with my kids ever again. They’re at ages where we can do so much together – read books, play board games, go for walks, play in the driveway. I’m grateful we can maximize our time together.”
