Atlanta vs. Phoenix has reportedly been postponed.
According to Adrian Wojnarowski (who has blocked me on Twitter for some unknown reason), the Wednesday night game won’t happen because of coronavirus contract tracing on the Suns. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
It’s not clear right now when the game will be rescheduled.
Atlanta vs. Phoenix tonight has been postponed, sources tell ESPN.

Contact tracing with Phoenix players is a factor because Suns played the Wizards on Monday, per sources. Wizards have positive tests on roster. https://t.co/C8DUWVOQxs

Another game bites the dust in the NBA. I feel like a broken record at this point, but it truly never ends.
It’s amazing how the NFL managed to get through the season without many problems, and the NBA has problems all over the place after just starting the new season.

To say the league is struggling right now would be an understatement. The league isn’t just struggling. The NBA is struggling to stay above water.
It feels like the NBA is trending towards pausing games, even after instituting new rules.
For at least next 2 weeks, NBA players and team staff are essentially entering in-market bubbles:
– Home: Remain in residence at all times (except for exercise outside, essential activities, extraordinary circumstance)
– Road: Stay in hotel (unless team activity or emergency)

We’ll see how things shake out, but the situation is quickly heading down the wrong path.
