NBA postponing Warriors vs. Nuggets game on Thursday due to health and safety protocol

After battling at Chase Center on Tuesday, the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets were slated to meet in a back-to-back rematch on Thursday at the Pepsi Center. However, the rematch will have to wait another day.

The NBA has postponed Golden State’s game in Denver on Thursday due to health and safety protocols. With multiple players in the league’s COVID-19 protocol, the Nuggets do not have the league minimum of eight available players to play on Thursday.
