Azalea Orthopedics cancels annual all-star basketball games amid COVID-19 outbreak

The annual event, sponsored by Azalea Orthopedics, allows East Texas High School seniors an opportunity to showcase their talent for colleges and hometown fans.

TYLER, Texas — The Azalea Orthopedics All-Star Basketball Games are canceled following the national guidelines set by the CDC to postpone all gatherings of 10 or more people due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. The annual event, sponsored by Azalea Orthopedics, allows East Texas High School seniors an opportunity to showcase their talent for colleges and hometown fans. The proceeds benefit the Bethesda Health Clinic.
 
“We are in the midst of challenging times, and unfortunately, this pandemic has deprived many high school seniors the opportunity to finish out a normal school year. The Class of 2020 has a number of talented athletes and coaches who deserve recognition for their accomplishments throughout the year. We feel it is necessary to highlight these individuals, and we are happy to share something positive with East Texans,” says Anthony Brooks, CEO of Azalea Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.

We want to thank our players, coaches, and the East Texas community for the continued support of the Azalea All-Star games. We look forward to next year’s games.
