Warriors to play vs Nets in game closed to fans to slow spread of COVID 19

The Warriors will face the Nets behind closed doors

San Francisco mayor London Breed has banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people to slow spread of COVID 19.
The Golden State Warriors will play Thursday against the Nets in a game closed to fans.

Warriors stil meeting on the matter and further direction could come from league owner’s call this afternoon, per sources. For now, the Chase Center is expected to be empty for game vs. Brooklyn on Thursday. Warriors are away until March 25th, so that buys them time at Chase. https://t.co/52xXvFXSaw
