COVID-19 cases in the United States have risen to a seven-day average of 119,534 (per The New York Times) amidst concern over the transmissibility of the Omicron variant.

Perhaps the league will postpone Bulls’ games for the time being, even if they’re able to reach the eight required players by Tuesday.
