MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The Memphis Grizzlies have a Covid problem. To stay within the NBA's health and safety protocols, the team has had to cancel yet another game.
This time, it'll be Wednesday's matchup against the Chicago Bulls that will need to be postponed.
If you're keeping score, the Grizzlies have a distinction that's hardly something to brag about. In fact, this latest cancellation has Memphis tied with the Washington Wizards as the two teams who've had the most games (6) canceled due to the pandemic. In the case of Memphis, it's the fifth game in a row. Only the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns come close with three games canceled each.
The NBA says postponing the games is part of its super-vigilant plan to protect the health and safety of all its players and team staff.
