The NBA postponed Philadelphia's Sunday night game against New Orleans after two Sixers players reportedly entered the COVID-19 protocol.

Multiple outlets reported Sunday that center Andre Drummond and guard Shake Milton had joined forward Georges Niang in the health and safety protocols.

Philadelphia was struggling to put together a lineup with the minimum eight required healthy players in time for Sunday's game with the visiting Pelicans.

The 76ers were already without Furkan Korkmaz (illness), Jaden Springer (concussion), Grant Riller (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back), while Joel Embiid (ankle), Tyrese Maxey (quad) and Danny Green (hip) were questionable.
