It’s been almost 4 months since Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19 … but his sense of smell is still MIA.

The Utah Jazz star was one of the first cases of coronavirus in pro sports when it was confirmed on March 11 … leading to the shut down of the 2019-20 NBA season.

One of the common symptoms is loss of smell and taste — and the 28-year-old Frenchman is telling L’Equipe he still isn’t fully recovered in that sense.

“The taste has returned, but the smell is still not 100%,” Gobert said in French.

“I can smell the smells, but not from afar. I spoke to specialists, who told me that it could take up to a year.”

Remember, Gobert was the guy who famously joked around about COVID-19 … jokingly touching a bunch of microphones and other recording devices at a press conference before he formally tested positive.


Afterward, Gobert’s teammate, Donovan Mitchell, tested positive — leading to a rift between the two.

Gobert later apologized and donated $500k to COVID relief.
