Reports suggest that Thursday’s games will also be postponed, as were the three contests scheduled for Wednesday prior to the Milwaukee Bucks boycotting their Game Five with the Orlando Magic. Milwaukee-Orlando, Oklahoma City-Houston, and Portland-LA Lakers each had scheduled Game Fives postponed on Wednesday that could be played as early as Friday.
