The Timberwolves' game with the Memphis Grizzlies was called off, as were what would have been Wizards' home games Sunday and Monday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The NBA said earlier this week that 16 players tested positive in recent days, which was more than the NBA had seen in the last five weeks combined.
The NBA gave Orlando coach Steve Clifford a call recently, telling him he had to do a better job of keeping his mask on during games.
“I think there were seven of us who got a call from the league about ‘Keep your mask on,’” Clifford said.
