Monday's Pistons-Heat game to be pushed back


Monday’s game between the Pistons and Heat, originally scheduled to be played in Miami at 3 p.m. Eastern time, will be delayed until at least 8 p.m., according to Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel (Twitter link).

As Winderman explains, the delay is related to the NBA’s COVID-19 protocols. The league, which has already had to postpone 14 games so far this season due to the health and safety protocols, still hopes today’s Pistons/Heat game can be played, but it sounds like a postponement remains a possibility.

The Pistons and Heat have each had one game postponed this season, but there hadn’t been any prior indication that today’s contest was in jeopardy. On last night’s injury report, Miami only had Avery Bradley and Jimmy Butler listed as out due to health and safety protocols, while Detroit wasn’t missing any players due to the protocols.

We’ll update this story with the latest info when the NBA provides more clarity. Until then, you can view the list of this season’s postponements right here.
