Grizzlies-Timberwolves Friday Matchup Postponed Due to COVID-19

Friday's game between the Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves has been postponed, The Athletic and Stadium's Shams Charania reported.

The league announced that it's due to contact tracing within the Minnesota program, leaving the team without the minimum eight players required to play.

This marks the 13th postponement for this season, just hours after the Wizards-Cavaliers games on Sunday and Monday were postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak within the Washington program.

People have continued to question whether the NBA should return to the bubble, and in response to the rising COVID-19 numbers, the league announced revised health and safety protocols.
