UPDATED 8/20, 10:05 p.m. ET: The CrawsOver was called well before completion due to unfavorable court conditions.
“Game called midway through the second quarter due to condensation on the court,” NBA reporter Kevin Pelton of ESPN wrote on Twitter.
Various viewers tweeted that at least one player slipped and that humidity in the venue was to blame.

Fresh off signing a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James will appear in Jamal Crawford’s pro-am The CrawsOver in Seattle tonight.
The CrawsOver, which takes place at Seattle Pacific University, will feature James alongside Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum, Atlanta Hawks All-Star Dejounte Murray, and NBA rookies Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, Tari Eason and MarJon Beauchamp. Isaiah Thomas and Aaron Gordon will also play.
The game starts at 8:30 p.m. ET. To stream it, hit the NBA app or this page on NBA.com.
LeBron’s appearance in Saturday’s CrawsOver comes a month after he headlined July’s Drew League in Los Angeles. In his first appearance since 2011, James dominated with 42 points and 16 rebounds, while L.A. native DeMar Derozan added 30 points and 14 rebounds en route to a 104-102 win.
The CrawsOver will see the NBA make its return to Seattle, which LeBron mentioned in a tweet hyping the event. “Seattle let’s get it!!” he wrote. “Been over 15+ years since I’ve been back and played ball! Well, the wait is almost over.”
