Sunday's game between the Toronto Raptors and Chicago Bulls has been postponed, the NBA announced.

The Raptors do not have a minimum of eight players available for the game to go on as scheduled due to COVID-19 testing and contact tracing.

In addition to a shortage of players, the Raptors have six members of their coaching staff in health and safety protocols, including head coach Nick Nurse.

Pascal Siakam is reportedly expected to remain in health and safety protocols through the All-Star break. It's unclear which other players are in the protocol.

The Raptors have two more games before the All-Star break: Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons and Thursday against the Boston Celtics.
