The NBA on Sunday announced it had postponed the next two Brooklyn Nets games and three other games because of the high number of players and staff who have entered the NBA’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, Orlando Magic, and Philadelphia 76ers will also have games rescheduled because of the recent wave of new cases.
