The Toronto Raptors were scheduled to take on Zach LaVine and the Chicago Bulls tonight in what should’ve been a matchup of Eastern Conference playoff contenders. Unfortunately, the pandemic decided to interfere with this game.
Toronto already expected to come in short-handed, as power forward Pascal Siakam, head coach Nick Nurse, and five other members of the coaching staff missed their win against the Houston Rockets due to the league’s health and safety protocols.
While Toronto expected to be shorthanded in this game, the latest bombshell confirmed that this game will, unfortunately, have to be made up at a later date in the name of keeping everyone else safe.
