As all sports have shown when operating outside a bubble during the era of COVID-19, road blocks are inevitable. Due to positive cases and contact tracing, the NBA has had to postpone four games this week, three of which involve the Boston Celtics, who have been unable to field the required minimum of eight players.
While not impacted on the same scale, the Spurs have not gone unscathed, as backup center Drew Eubanks, assistant coach Becky Hammon and an unnamed staff member have been quarantined in Los Angeles since the Spurs two games there last week due to contact tracing.
