The Portland Trail Blazers and Memphis Grizzlies were scheduled to play two games this week. However, the teams will have at least one game postponed due to COVID-19.

The Grizzlies don’t have enough players (league-required minimum is eight players) to compete because of ongoing contact tracing.

On top of that, the Blazers were scheduled to host Memphis again on Friday. So, that game is certainly up in the air right now as well.

Portland announced Wednesday’s game will be rescheduled for the second half of the season, which has not been released yet.
