Thursday's scheduled game between the Nets and Trail Blazers has been postponed, as the NBA announced that coronavirus-struck Brooklyn does not have the required eight players available for the contest.

This is the third straight Nets game that has been postponed over the past week. Games against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday and Washington Wizards on Tuesday were also called off.

The Nets had 10 players in the league's health and safety protocols as of Tuesday, including stars Kevin Durant, James Harden and Kyrie Irving.
