There have been an assortment of teams to have games postponed recently after a seemingly great start to the season with no new positive tests. Altogether, the Boston Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Washington Wizards have all been greatly affected by positive COVID-19 tests.
Even the Suns have had to postpone their games against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday and the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Now, with Phoenix still having fewer than eight players available due to COVID-19, the league is choosing to postpone their third consecutive game against the Pacers.
The league has had to postpone an abundance of games in the past week or so due to a rise in positive cases. Despite the outbreaks that are taking place on certain teams, the NBA is adamant about not pausing the season anytime soon.
Seeing that the league doesn't want to halt the season because of COVID-19, the postponed games will likely have to be made up in the second half of the season. Counting their latest postponed showdown with the Pacers, the Suns have now had to push back three of their games.
