The Raptors have finally fallen off the NBA’s COVID-19 tightrope, and what remains to be seen is when they might get back on it.
For the first time this season, the Raptors have had a game postponed, losing Sunday night’s scheduled home date with the Chicago Bulls because of the league’s far-reaching health and safety protocols.
Whether they will be able to play their final two games before the all-star break — Tuesday in Tampa against Detroit, and Thursday in Boston — remains unclear. The whole situation that led to not having the requisite eight players available Sunday is murky.
