With a COVID-19 outbreak sidelining 10 of its players, the NBA has postponed the next two games Chicago Bulls games in order to allow the team to start getting back healthy players and to stop further spread.
Playing without these many players would have been a disaster, so the Bulls were happy to have the league grant them relief with the postponements. The NBA will reschedule the Bulls-Pistons game on Tuesday in Chicago and Bulls-Raptors on Thursday in Toronto for future dates.
After forward Alize Johnson tested positive for COVID and entered protocols on Monday, the Bulls were reportedly down to a league minimum of eight players.
Johnson joins Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, Troy Brown Jr., Coby White, Javonte Green, Matt Thomas, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson in the league’s health and safety protocols. Once players enter the league’s protocols, they must quarantine for 10 days or until they return two negative PCR tests within a 24-hour window.
Here’s hoping the Bulls can contain this outbreak and get their players back on court with a clean bill of health.
