The season was suspended by league officials following the games of March 11[1] after it was reported that Rudy Gobert tested positive for COVID-19.[2] On March 19, it was announced that three people from team's staff tested positive for COVID-19.[3]

Coach Brett Brown was fired after the 76ers lost in a 4-game sweep to the Boston Celtics.
