On Sunday, the NBA postponed a Celtics-Heat matchup at TD Garden after Miami was unable to field enough players following an inconclusive COVID-19 test which ruled out a number of players due to contact tracing.
Boston was also down to nine active players after positive tests and contact tracing sent several players into quarantine.
Elsewhere, the NFL’s Wild Card Weekend produced notable results, including Tom Brady and Buccaneers defeating Washington (and setting up a third matchup of the season against the division rival Saints). Lamar Jackson got his first career playoff win, pushing the Ravens past Mike Vrabel’s Titans.
