Illinois high school basketball ‘on hold’ due to being higher risk sport

According to reports, the Illinois Department of Public Health has determined that basketball and wrestling are higher risk sports for COVID-19.

As a result, the IDPH has placed the two sports “on hold” for the the near future.

JUST IN: Gov. J.B. Pritzker and the IDPH has moved basketball to Higher Risk and the sport, along with wrestling, has been put “on hold.”

Story to come. No word from the IHSA yet.
