Houston (AP) - The first season game of the Houston Rockets in the North American basketball league NBA cannot take place as planned.
The game against Oklahoma City Thunder should originally have been played on Wednesday (local time), but the corona test results of three professionals were positive or inconclusive.
Four other players who were classified as contact persons had also been quarantined according to league information.
The Texans had also hit the headlines because their star player James Harden had violated the league's hygiene policy during the week.
He was seen without a mask at a private party.
Houston would have had to have eight players to play against OKC.
But since another player is also injured, Houston lacks the required number of operational professionals.
