The NBA postponed Washington’s game at Charlotte on Wednesday, making it the fifth Wizards’ game in a row called off due to the COVID-19 outbreak within the team.

“Because of ongoing contact tracing within the Wizards, the team will not have the league-required eight available players to proceed with the scheduled game against the Hornets,” the NBA said in a statement.
