Wednesday's game between the Chicago Bulls and Memphis Grizzlies has been postponed, the NBA announced Sunday.

The postponement will be the Grizzlies' fifth straight. The team continues to undergo contact tracing, and there's concern regarding Memphis' practice time preceding the game, according to the league.

Despite the extended hiatus, no new players have entered health and safety protocols, a source told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. The team's last injury report listed only Jonas Valanciunas as under protocol.

The NBA has used a more cautious approach with teams of late. The Washington Wizards saw their last six game postponed before they returned to action on Sunday.
