(WWJ) The Michigan basketball game scheduled for tonight has been scrapped, due to COVID-19.
The University of Michigan and Purdue Fort Wayne athletic departments announced at around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday that the Dec. 21 men's basketball game against the Mastodons is canceled as a result of "internal COVID-19 protocols within the Purdue Fort Wayne program."
"My first concern is for coach Coffman and his players," said David and Meredith Kaplan U-M head men's basketball coach Juwan Howard. "I have said many times that we are living in a new world and we need to continue to be safe and diligent with taking care of each other. While we are disappointed we can't play, we just want to make sure everyone is, and feels, safe and healthy."
