The WNBA postponed the first game of the semifinal series between the Seattle Storm and the Minnesota Lynx due to an inconclusive coronavirus test result, according to a statement from the league.

The inconclusive results came from Storm players. The players with inconclusive results are undergoing additional testing and are currently in isolation, the league said.

The new date for game one will be “communicated as developments warrant.”

The Seattle Storm organization released a statement.

“The Storm organization fully supports the decision to postpone the game. The health and safety of the WNBA players, team staffs and all those involved in the production of this season remains our top priority.”
