Duke University’s men’s basketball team pulled out of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament and ended its season on Thursday because of issues related to the coronavirus.
The Blue Devils, seeded 10th, were scheduled to play Florida State University, the No. 2 seed, on Thursday evening in Greensboro, N.C. But in a statement on Thursday morning, the A.C.C. said the game was called off because of “a positive test, subsequent quarantining, and contact tracing within the Duke men’s basketball program.”
Kevin White, Duke’s athletic director, said that one player had tested positive for the virus and that other members of the team had been ordered to quarantine.
