The NBA announced the postponement of five COVID-19 games on Sunday, including the one scheduled for the next day between the Toronto Raports and the Orlando Magic.
The two formations had an appointment in the Queen City.
The other games affected are Sunday between the Denver Nuggets and the Brooklyn Nets, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks, as well as between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Philadelphia 76ers.
The game scheduled for Tuesday involving the Washington Wizards and the Nets also went into the wringer. For the moment, the NBA has not announced when these duels will be rescheduled.
In a statement, Circuit Silver said it made the decisions because “players and staff are now subject to COVID-19 protocols.”
Among the Raptors, the names of Pascal Siakam and Dalano Banton were added to the list of players unavailable due to the virus on Saturday. On the Magic side, at least five players are inconvenienced by the coronavirus.
Earlier this week, the ESPN network learned that the NBA and its Players Association were negotiating a plan that would force circuit teams affected by COVID-19 to hire replacement players to avoid possible postponements. .
