Friday's men's basketball game between the San Francisco Dons and Arizona State Sun Devils has been canceled, USF announced, as air quality levels have risen to unhealthy amounts in the Bay Area due to the devastating California wildfires.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) surpassed 200 in San Francisco on Thursday, causing heightened health concerns for all participants in Friday's game. Coupled with an awareness of all those affected by the ongoing fires in Butte County and throughout Southern California, "it was agreed that playing the game was not in the best interest of anyone," the Dons said.
