The San Antonio Spurs are dealing with a coronavirus outbreak among four players, the NBA said Tuesday, meaning the team will not play until the middle of next week at the earliest.
Meanwhile, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms -- whose city was picked to play host to the NBA All-Star Game and skills competitions on March 7 -- raised major concerns about the notion of fans coming to the city for the events.
"People should not travel to Atlanta to party," she said.
The NBA on Tuesday postponed five more games: the next three for the Spurs -- today at Cleveland, at New York on Saturday and at Indiana on Monday -- as well as the next two for the Charlotte Hornets while contact tracing is completed.
