The NBA is beginning to see the impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the 2020-21 season as more positive cases have come up for a number of teams over the past week.
The league was forced to postpone a game between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat because of positive cases and contract tracing. On Monday, the matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and Dallas Mavericks was postponed. Tuesday’s game between the Celtics and Chicago Bulls also suffered the same fate.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers were barely able to meet the minimum requirement of eight players to face the Denver Nuggets.
