Raptors-Pistons rescheduled due to ongoing COVID issues
Tuesday's game between the Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons has been tentatively rescheduled to Wednesday, pending additional COVID-19 test results.
The NBA has postponed Raptors-Pistons for tomorrow – but has "tentatively rescheduled" it for Wednesday. That would leave Raptors-Celtics still on for Thursday. Clearly the league is going to bend over backward to try to get these games played this week.

The Raptors are reportedly dealing with several positive COVID-19 tests and still undergoing contract tracing after Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls was postponed as Toronto couldn't field the minimum eight players necessary. It was unclear which players tested positive and how many personnel were exposed to the virus.
Pascal Siakam was previously ruled out for the duration of the week after missing the team's Feb. 26 win against the Houston Rockets. Six coaches, including head coach Nick Nurse, have been in isolation and assistant Sergio Scariolo got his first head coaching victory in Nurse's absence on Friday.
Toronto is still currently scheduled to travel to play the Boston Celtics on Thursday, before the All-Star break.
