The surge in cases of infected players has disrupted the course of this season's competition, which is entering its second series. As of February 1, a total of four IBL matches have been postponed due to COVID-19.
The latest match that was forced to be postponed was the match between Pelita Jaya and the Indonesia Patriots. The meeting was supposed to be held on Tuesday, February 1.
However, the organizers were forced to postpone it because as many as four Pelita Jaya players were confirmed positive. So far there is no new schedule for these matches.
The second series of IBL this season has been going on since January 29 and will end on February 5 next. After the second series in Bandung, the highest caste of national basketball will continue the next series to Jogjakarta.
