"The way I found out (that the NBA season was shut down) was actually through Donovan Mitchell," Paschall explained to ABC's Larry Beil and Casey Pratt. "I Facetime'd him. I asked him, 'Are you good?' This is right after the Rudy Gobert thing.
"He's like, 'Yeah, I'm fine. Nothing's wrong. But the league is suspended.' And I'm like, 'What? Hold on, I'm gonna call you back.' I check Twitter, it says two minutes ago -- NBA season suspended."
As you're probably well aware -- Mitchell tested positve for the coronavirus the following day and is in self-quarantine.

"Me and him played "NBA2K" together. Having fun and playing Call of Duty."
