Game 1 of the Celtics-Raptors second-round playoff series has been postponed, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The postponement comes a day after the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to come out of the locker room for Game 5 of their first-round series against the Orlando Magic, prompting the league to postpone the three playoff games on Wednesday’s schedule.
No new dates have officially been announced. The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn reports the playoffs will resume Saturday, with Celtics-Raptors Game 1 expected to take place on Sunday.
Prior to the Bucks’ decision not to play, the Celtics and Raptors had been engaged in discussions about potentially sitting out their game in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man who was shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wis.
“Obviously, if we sit out a game or the rest of the playoffs, we understand how big of an impact that will have,” Celtics wing Jayson Tatum said Wednesday. “Everybody’s going to have to talk about it. We don’t want to just keep playing and forget about what’s going on in the outside world because it’s affecting us. It’s affecting everybody.”
Neither coach Brad Stevens nor Celtics players have been made available since the games were postponed on Wednesday. The team has not issued a statement.
