The Washington Wizards were supposed to play the Utah Jazz tomorrow, but the game was postponed just minutes after our preview was released. This is because there are fewer than eight players available to play tomorrow due to the NBA’s current coronavirus protocols, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Due to ongoing contact tracing, Washington does not have the league-required eight available players to proceed with the game. https://t.co/qhb7dwLDNb

I am not surprised that the Wizards are in this situation because they were exposed to multiple players on other teams who tested positive for the coronavirus a day or two after playing them.
