The Wizards won't host the Cavs on Sunday and Monday amid their COVID-19 outbreak.
The NBA tightened health and safety protocols this week while several teams are dealing with coronavirus outbreaks.
Two games between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards set for Sunday and Monday were on hold, the NBA said on Friday, because the Wizards did not have the "league-required eight available players to proceed" due to ongoing contact tracing on the team. Hours later, the NBA halted a Friday game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves, citing a similar shortfall of available players on the Minnesota team, making it the 12th game since Sunday that the league has postponed.
