Pacers-Suns game Saturday postponed because of virus

The Indiana Pacers had a busy week scheduled, with five games in seven days on a trip out West.

Make that four in seven.

The Pacers-Suns game scheduled for Saturday in Phoenix has been postponed because of COVID-19 issues with the Suns. Ongoing contact tracing leaves Phoenix with fewer than the league-required eight available players to play the game.

No announcement was made about when the game would be rescheduled.

The Pacers play Thursday night in Portland and Sunday night in Los Angeles against the Clippers, then return home to host Dallas on Jan. 20.
