Shortly after announcing a fifth game in this early season was postponed because of COVID-19 Health and Safety Protocols the NBA and the the National Basketball Players Association disclosed additional safety measures to be implemented immediately to try to keep the season moving forward.
The latest game to be postponed was Orlando at Boston scheduled for Wednesday night. In just three weeks the league has not only seen the five games postponed but have had to endure games that have resembled summer league rosters with huge swathes of players forced to the sidelines. Monday there were 34 players listed as unavailable because they were on the Heath and Safety Protocols or self isolating.
