DENVER (KDVR) — The Denver Nuggets game against the Charlotte Hornets on Friday has been postponed due to COVID-19 contact tracing in Charlotte.

The Nuggets game against the Celtics in Boston Tuesday night is still happening.

The Nuggets will play at Cleveland on Friday. The NBA says the game was initially scheduled for the second half of the season but will be played Friday to maximize first-half days. The second half schedule hasn’t been released yet.

A few weeks ago, the Nuggets game with the Detroit Pistons was postponed due to contact tracing within the Pistons organization.
