More COVID Woes: NBA Postpones Thursday’s Nets-Blazers Game
NEW YORK (AP) — The NBA has postponed Brooklyn’s game scheduled for Thursday at Portland because the coronavirus-ravaged Nets do not have the league-minimum eight players available for the contest. It is the eighth postponement of the season because of virus-related reasons and the third consecutive Nets game to be pushed back. And it means that Brooklyn’s next possible game would be Saturday — part of the NBA’s five-game Christmas slate, with the Nets scheduled to visit the Los Angeles Lakers.
