In the wake of today's tragedy at the Boston Marathon, the NBA announced that tomorrow's Celtics-Pacers game has been canceled.
The cancellation means that both teams will finish with 81 games played. The NBA regular season concludes on Wednesday, and both teams play on Wednesday, leaving no time to make the game up.
It is uncertain when the Celtics will travel to Toronto for Wednesday's season finale.
According to a Pacers official, the team is looking to leave Boston some time tonight, but it is more likely that they fly back to Indianapolis tomorrow.
The Pacers spent their off day at the Red Sox game this afternoon -- Fenway Park is less than 1.5 miles away from where the explosions took place -- after head coach Frank Vogel decided to cancel practice for Monday afternoon at Emerson College.
The Eastern Conference playoff seedings are not affected by the cancellation.
