Sunday's matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and Oklahoma City Thunder was postponed in accordance with the NBA's health and safety protocols, the league announced under two hours before tipoff.

The 76ers didn't have the mandated minimum of eight players available due to ongoing contact tracing within the organization.

It's the 14th NBA contest to be called off this season.

The league's 5:30 p.m. injury report only listed four Philadelphia players out for Sunday's contest. However, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports the 76ers' contact tracing is connected with their game against the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
