The NBA postponed Tuesday night’s Bulls-Celtics game at the United Center after the league saw a spike in the number of players going into the league’s health and safety coronavirus protocol.
The announcement was made Monday afternoon, with Monday’s Dallas-New Orleans game also postponed.
It was the first Bulls game postponed this season, and the first since last March when the NBA shut the entire league down. With good reason, as Boston had nine players unavailable with seven of them in the protocol.
Not that the Bulls should have been complaining with the news.
Both Chandler Hutchison and Tomas Satoransky tested positive almost two weeks ago, while Lauri Markkanen and Ryan Arcidiacono have been in the protocol because of contact tracing, just getting in league-approved individual workouts.
