Knicks Cancel Tonight’s Game Because Of… Asbestos

Dwight Howard and his teammates received an unusual text message Tuesday afternoon: Report to the team bus at the usual time, but don’t bother getting ready for that night’s game at Madison Square Garden. There won’t be one.

The reason: Asbestos fell from the rafters at the building known as the World’s Most Famous Arena, and the Magic’s game against the New York Knicks was postponed. No makeup date has been set.

The Knicks released a statement saying maintenance was being performed following Monday’s New York Rangers game, which included “cleaning asbestos-related materials in the attic above the ceiling.”
