The National Basketball Association has announced the game between the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors, originally scheduled for Tuesday at Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida, has been postponed.
Sunday night’s game between Toronto and Chicago Bulls had to be postponed as well due to COVID-19 positive test results and ongoing contact tracing within the Raptors team. Toronto wouldn’t have had the eight required players for the game.

The NBA says the game against the Pistons has been tentatively rescheduled for Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET — pending additional results.
“The game is being postponed tomorrow due to positive test results and ongoing contact tracing within the Raptors organization,” the league says in a statement.
It’s unknown who among the coaching staff or players have tested positive.
Toronto only has two games — the one against Detroit and then another against the Boston Celtics slated for March 4 — remaining before the All-Star Break.
This is the 35th postponement this year for the NBA.
