I think this is the ninth time these teams have played inside the space of a month. I’ll be honest, I think it stinks. What I won’t complain about is that the Knicks haven’t played the Wizards yet. They haven’t been able to steer completely clear but not having them come through has paid dividends. Unfortunately their health concerns are extremely troublesome and the league’s health on the whole seems in perpetual jeopardy. Nevertheless, the games keep rolling out.
The Washington Wizards are now up to five players who have tested positive for coronavirus, sources tell me and @fredkatz.
