TAMPA, Fla. (AP) – A slippery court installed over an NHL ice surface has forced the cancellation of the preseason finale between the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat.
The Magic couldn’t hold a shootaround practice because of the wet conditions Friday morning, prompting Magic coach Stan Van Gundy and guard Vince Carter to question the safety of the court. Workers at the St. Pete Times Forum tried to solve the problem for several more hours, before the NBA made the decision to cancel, citing “unsafe playing conditions.”
The game will not be rescheduled.
