Several players of the host team returned positive PCR tests, and Olimpija asked for the game to be postponed for a later date.

Crvena Zvezda's squad and staff were informed of the development while at the gym, some minutes before their bus would transfer them to the Nikola Tesla airport in Belgrade.

Per the official ABA league statement:

"Following a request by Cedevita Olimpija, in accordance with the decision of the ABA League j.t.d. Sports Director Milija Vojinovic, the Round 3 game between Cedevita Olimpija and Crvena Zvezda mts, that was originally scheduled for Sunday, 16 October 2022, is officially postponed, due to a delicate health situation in the Cedevita Olimpija team.
