The Tuesday night game between the Bulls and Celtics at the United Center was postponed, as the NBA was recently dealing with a spike in the number of players going into the league’s health and safety coronavirus protocol.
The announcement was made Monday afternoon, with the game between Dallas and New Orleans also cancelled for the time being.
It was the first Bulls game cancelled this season, and the first since last March when the NBA shut the entire league down. With good reason, as Boston had nine players unavailable with seven of them in the protocol.
