The PBA announced that it will be postponing two games after four TNT players turned up positive for COVID-19 on Tuesday, July 20.

“Four TNT Tropang Giga players have returned tests that were either positive or needs to be confirmed for COVID-19 under government approved league protocols,” the PBA said in a statement.

“They are now isolated and will be tested again. The rest of the team who tested negative are also isolated and will be retested.”
