With 10 players testing positive for COVID, the league postponed two Bulls games, which is a first this season.

On Monday, the NBA announced that the team’s next two games — December 14 versus the Detroit Pistons and December 16 versus the Toronto Raptors — would be postponed due to the exposure, which has affected “additional staff members” off the court as well as stars like Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan. When players have tested positive, they must isolate away from the rest of the team for 10 days or submit two negative PCR tests in a 24-hour period in order to return.
The Bulls aren’t the only team currently facing some pandemic challenges — five Charlotte Hornets are quarantined ahead of the Monday night game against the Dallas Mavericks — but the shutdown in Chicago does represent the largest pandemic challenge faced during what is somehow now the league’s third pandemic season.
