The NBA could boast that it had no positive cases when it was in the bubble in Orlando, but that changed when they could not put all the players back in one place. For the 2020-21 campaign, there are more and more problems and one of them is that e. Heat vs Celtics was postponed by COVID-19.
It all started with several players discarded.
Before the game, several tests were positive on the Celtics roster, causing the team to run out of several of its players. They were not going to have Jaylen Brown, Javonte Green, Semi Ojeleye, Jayson Tatum, Tristan Thompson, Grant Williams and Robert Williams.
To this we had to add that the Boston team had two more injured players, increasing the casualties to a total of 9. Even so, the game was expected to be played, but in the end they decided to protect them and the Miami Heat, postponing the match until new notification.
