The NBA has postponed Brooklyn’s game scheduled for Thursday at Portland because the coronavirus-ravaged Nets do not have the league-minimum eight players available for the contest. It is the eighth postponement of the season because of virus-related reasons and the third consecutive Nets game to be pushed back. Brooklyn has what is believed to be a league-high 10 players in the health and safety protocols, a list that includes Kevin Durant, James Harden and — even though he has yet to play this season — Kyrie Irving.
