Earlier in the day, Wojnarowski had reported that Trae Young had entered the NBA's health and safety protocols. Shortly after the Young news broke, five Cavaliers players, including center Jarrett Allen, tested positive for COVID-19. Cleveland already had Evan Mobley and Isaac Okoro on the COVID-19 list. This is the third game to be postponed by the NBA this season. The previous two postponements came last week, the Bulls vs. Raptors and Bulls vs. Pistons. The Cavaliers' lack of players was cited as the reason for the postponement.
Young leads the Hawks in scoring, averaging 27.3 points, 9.3 assists, and four rebounds.
Meanwhile, Allen was playing towards an All-star spot, averaging 16.8 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, and Mobley was making a case for Rookie of the Year.
