Adam Silver continues to lose control. Washington announced tonight (Wednesday-Thursday) that a game in Detroit will also not take place as planned between Friday and Saturday, following the outbreak of the Corona in a team that prevented the Wizards from fielding eight players.
One of those players who could not appear for the game is Danny Abdia, who went into isolation but did not contract the virus, as the sports channel has learned. As you may recall, the game of loss against Utah, which was supposed to take place tonight, was postponed for the same reason. ESPN’s senior correspondent Adrian Wojnerowski later announced that a third player at the club was positive for the virus and that the team’s games on Wednesday and Friday were finally postponed.
In light of the change in schedule and the assumption that Washington will be able to put Corona’s affairs behind it soon, its next game will be played on Sunday against Cleveland at a particularly convenient time for the Israeli audience – 21:00 (Israel time). This will be the first time Abdia has played an NBA game at a time like this. The one who is expected to play in the Cubs’ ranks is the new acquisition from Brooklyn – Jarrett Allen.
A third Washington Wizards player has tested positive for the coronavirus, sources tell ESPN. The NBA postponed Wednesday and Friday games involving the team this week.
