It’s also the 14th National Basketball Association game overall that's been postponed since January 10 due to players testing positive or contact tracing leading to teams having less than the minimum required number of players.
The Wizards had six players test positive last week and three others were ruled out due to contact tracing.
Kyrie Irving Buys House For Family Of George Floyd
Former Natonal Basketball Association player Stephen Jackson revealed on ‘The Rematch’ podcast that Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving bought a house for the family of George Floyd, whose death at the hands of Minneapolis police last May led to weeks of protests against racism and police brutality.
Jackson, who was a close friend of Floyd, said Irving and other celebs had reached out to help Floyd’s family, stating, “Kyrie Irving bought them a house. Lil Wayne’s manager bought them a Mercedes-Benz. Barbra Streisand gave them stock in Disney.”
