The University of Utah men’s basketball program has once again been affected by COVID-19.

The school announced Sunday that the team’s next game, scheduled for Tuesday night on the road against Arizona State, has been postponed because of a confirmed case within the Utes’ program.

The two sides and the Pac-12 will work to reschedule the game, the school said. The status of Utah’s Dec. 31 and Jan. 2 games will be determined at a later date.

This is the second time the Utes have been affected by COVID-19 already this season, as the start of their campaign was delayed because of an outbreak within the team.

The Utes have a 4-1 record while Arizona State is 4-3.
