Report: Cavaliers vs. Hawks, Nuggets vs. Nets Postponed Amid COVID-19 Outbreaks

A pair of NBA contests were postponed Sunday due to COVID-19 outbreaks.

Cleveland vs. Atlanta was the first game to be postponed Sunday morning. The contest was postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak on Cleveland's roster, which includes rookie center Evan Mobley. The Cavaliers are short of the eight-player minimum necessary to play.

Denver's matchup in Brooklyn was postponed shortly after the Cleveland announcement. The Nets are currently facing a wave of COVID-19 absences, with the addition of Kevin Durant marking the eighth absence on Brooklyn's roster.

Sunday's postponements are the third and fourth of the 2021-22 season.
