Arizona's season opener against NAU, which had been slated for Wednesday, is being canceled because of a positive test within the Lumberjack program, Arizona announced Monday afternoon.
The news was first reported by Stadium, also quoting a source.
Arizona's statement said the game won't be played as scheduled "due to a positive COVID-19 case within the NAU men’s basketball program as well as ensuing contact tracing and mitigation protocols."
"The news of this cancellation is very disappointing to student-athletes, coaches and fans," UA's statement said. "However, health and safety must remain our top priorities as we move forward this season.
