NBA postpones next three Grizzlies' games due to COVID protocols

The Memphis Grizzlies’ next three games -- Friday, Jan. 22 at Portland and Sunday, Jan. 24 and Monday, Jan. 25 vs. Sacramento -- have been postponed in accordance with the NBA’s Health and Safety Protocols.

The games are being postponed due to unavailable players for the Grizzlies and contact tracing for other players on their roster, and in order to ensure the health and safety of players on both teams.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN added that the NBA is erring on the side of caution with what still appears to be isolated COVID-19 exposure within the Grizzlies. These postponements aren't a result of several individuals being placed into the league's Health and Safety protocol.
