The city is hosting Sunday's Super Bowl football game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel)The NBA doesn't want the Super Bowl to turn into a superspreader. The Super Bowl plan is designed to avoid more potential contact-tracing pratfalls as one of the top priorities. Clubs are instructed to not host in-person Super Bowl gatherings at a team facility.

Utah's game in Washington on Wednesday was postponed because contact-tracing issues among the Wizards meant they wouldn't have eight available players for that matchup. “I'm for whatever the NBA wants us to do," Washington coach Scott Brooks said.

There were at least 36 players in the league dealing with virus-related issues or protocols when Tuesday began, based on information released by teams. Counting the two new postponements and another on Dec. 23 between Oklahoma City and Houston, the league has seen six games moved because of virus issues.

(CNN) - One of Hollywood's best-known villains, Danny Trejo, came to the rescue of a baby that was trapped in an overturned vehicle in Los Angeles. The overturned vehicle that was sitting on its roof still had a baby strapped into a car seat inside. "The only thing that saved the little kid was his car seat," Trejo told a photographer on the scene. The Los Angeles Fire Department told CNN affiliate KABC that three people were taken to a hospital. "Everything good that has happened to me has happened as a direct result of helping someone else," Trejo told CNN affiliate KABC.

One of the cars was overturned as a result of the collision and Trejo, and a fellow bystander, jumped into action -- rescuing a child trapped inside, according to ABC7 Eyewitness News. The 75-year-old actor reportedly crawled into the wreckage, but was unable to get the seatbelt unbuckled on the child's car seat. "And the only thing that saved that little kid was his car seat, honest to God," he told the local outlet. The Los Angeles Fire Department shared with ABC7 that three people were taken to a hospital, though none have life-threatening injuries. He was right behind a crash in Sylmar and pulled a special needs baby out of an overturned car.
