NBA postpones another Wizards game

Washington got back on the practice court Wednesday for the first time in more than a week, and Bradley Beal wondered if the team needed more time there before returning to game mode. The NBA apparently agreed with him.

Not long after the league’s leading scorer said he believes the shorthanded Wizards — who have six players who have tested positive for COVID-19 — may be following “a recipe for injury” if they played Milwaukee as scheduled Friday, the NBA said that game would be called off in a move that gives Washington more time to get game-ready again.

That move, along with the postponement of Wednesday’s Memphis at Portland game, push the total to 17 games this season that have been pushed back because of the virus.
