NBA postpones Bulls games vs. Pistons, Raptors amid COVID-19 outbreak

Amid a COVID-19 outbreak that has sidelined 10 players, the NBA has postponed the Chicago Bulls‘ games against the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday and Thursday respectively.

These are the first postponements by the league this season.

The team confirmed Monday that backup forward Alize Johnson became the 10th player to enter the protocols, joining a list that includes stars Zach LaVine and DeMar Derozan. Also on it are Troy Brown Jr., Matt Thomas, Coby White, Javonte Green, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu and Stanley Johnson.

That left the Bulls with the eight available players, the league minimum to field a team. That list includes two players on two-way contracts in Devon Dotson and Tyler Cook, another signed to a 10-day contract last week in Alfonzo McKinnie, and rookie Marko Simonovic, who has played most of the season in the G League.

ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Chicago Department of Public Health had concerns about the Bulls continuing play this week, which played a part in the NBA’s decision to postpone games.

The Bulls are third in the Eastern Conference with a 17-10 record, their next scheduled game is now Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Dates for the postponed games have not yet been set.

NHL exec Colin Campbell explains league’s schedule goals in Canada

NHL senior executive vice president Colin Campbell says the league would like to try to preserve as many full-capacity home games as possible for Canadian fans, but acknowledges other factors are at play in redoing the schedule during the current COVID-19 surge. “You’d like to give the fans the opportunity to go to as many games as they can. They’ve already been shortchanged in the last year and a half … shortchanged completely watching hockey here in Canada,” Campbell said in an interview on the Real Kyper and Bourne show on Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Friday. “It’s a rite of passage to watch the world juniors this time of year for all young kids. I remember growing up watching it. Now, it’s cancelled. We’re trying to save as much as we can and delay it.” The NHL postponed nine more games on Friday because of arena capacity issues in Canada — with teams being allowed anywhere from zero fans (Montreal Canadiens) to 50 per cent capacity (Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Can...
