The NBA has announced the postponement of Wednesday's game between the Atlanta Hawks and Phoenix Suns.

Phoenix doesn't have the league-required eight available players due to contact tracing. The Suns recently squared off against the Washington Wizards, who've had multiple players test positive for COVID-19.

The league has delayed seven games thus far, including three on Wednesday.

The league recently implemented stricter health and safety protocols amid a spike in positive COVID-19 tests.
