WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Due to the results from Wake Forest University men's basketball's most recent COVID testing and contact tracing, the Demon Deacons will pause team activities this week. Wake Forest will not play Troy on Wednesday, Dec. 2.
"After consultation with our medical professionals, and in an abundance of caution, we will pause activities within our men's basketball program for the rest of this week," Director of Athletics John Currie said. "Our top priority is the health and safety of our student-athletes, and given the significant increase in COVID-19 infections both in Forsyth County and throughout North Carolina, this is the right decision."
Head coach Steve Forbes has been in communication with his student-athletes and their parents, and Director of Athletics John Currie is in communication with the Atlantic Coast Conference and Troy AD Brent Jones.
"Our program is always going to follow the advice of our University and local medical personnel," Forbes said. "Although we are disappointed that we will be unable to play this week, this is the right thing to do at this moment."
