The McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic have been canceled

The dominoes continue to fall in the world of sports.

This afternoon, the McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic – two of the premier end-of-year annual high school basketball events – were canceled.

“As we continue to navigate through the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation, we are cancelling this year’s Jordan Brand Classic planned for March 27,” Jordan said in a statement. “While we understand how disappointing this is for the athletes, their families, and the communities who were excited to participate, in everything we do, we must prioritize the health and safety of our employees, athletes and consumers.
