MADRID (AP) -- The Spanish basketball league has been forced to suspend a match for the second time this season due to swine flu.

The ACB on Saturday postponed Sunday's sixth-round match between Lagun Aro GBC and Bizkaia Bilbao Basket after four players from the latter club were diagnosed with the H1N1 virus. The league said in a statement that several other Bilbao payers were also showing symptoms.

A new date for the match has not yet been set.

A league match was suspended last month after at least seven players from one team were diagnosed with swine flu.
