The duels between Boston-Orlando and Washington-Utah were scheduled for this Wednesday, but will have to be played later.
The parties Washington Wizards-Utah Jazz and Boston Celtics-Orlando Magic, scheduled for Wednesday, were postponed amid coronavirus concerns.
The Wizards announced Tuesday that Rui Hachimura and Moe Wagner have entered NBA health and safety protocols and canceled their scheduled practice.
“Tomorrow’s National Basketball Association game between the Utah Jazz and Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena has been postponed in accordance with league health and safety protocols,” read an NBA statement, which had released something similar for the duel between Boston and Orlando.
“Due to continuous contact tracing with the Wizards, the team does not have the eight available players required by the league to continue tomorrow’s game against the Jazz,” he adds.
