The owner of the Albany Patroons says the team won't be taking the court during the 2021 season.
The decision was made due to lingering concerns over the coronavirus and because no fans will be allowed to watch games in-person. Another factor is that the team's home building, the Washington Avenue Armory, is also going to be used as a mass COVID-19 vaccination site starting Wednesday. The team hopes to be able to return in 2022.
