Saturday's matchup between the Indiana Pacers and Phoenix Suns has been postponed in accordance with NBA health and safety protocols, the league announced.

The mandated minimum eight players wouldn't have been available for the Suns due to ongoing COVID-19 contact tracing.

It's the third consecutive Suns matchup that's been postponed after games against the Atlanta Hawks (Wednesday) and Golden State Warriors (Friday) were also pushed back.

The league has now postponed 10 games this season. The expectation is those contests will likely be rescheduled for sometime in the second half of the campaign.
