Seven NBA games have been postponed with more potentially in doubt, and over 100 players and coaches have entered the league’s health and safety protocols.
This story originally appeared on CBS Sports. The recent COVID-19 surge caused by the highly infectious variant has altered the course of this NBA season. So far, seven games have been postponed with more potentially in doubt, and over 100 players and coaches have entered the league’s health and safety protocols. But despite rising concerns, the league has no plans to stop play. NBA commissioner Adam Silver went on ESPN’s „NBA Today“ on Tuesday to discuss the current situation, and said there are „no plans to pause the season.“ „We, of course, looked at all the options, but frankly we’re having trouble coming up with what the logic would be behind pausing right now as we look through these cases literally ripping through the country right now — putting aside the rest of the world,“ Silver said.
