Philadelphia 76ers' lineup issues lead to postponement vs. New Orleans Pelicans

The Philadelphia 76ers were unable to find enough players to play against the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday.

The 76ers placed both Shake Milton and Andre Drummond in the NBA's health and safety protocols on Sunday. The protocols were added to by Georges Niang.

The games were called off because of the COVID-19 issues. The Wizards-Nets game and the Magic-Raptors game were both postponed.

Sources said that there is hope that the game will be played in Boston on Monday.

According to league sources, the NBA and National Basketball Players Association were discussing a plan that would require teams to sign additional replacement players to avoid games being postponed. According to sources, those talks have been going on through the weekend.

There are a number of potential additions in Las Vegas for the G League showcase starting Sunday, complicating the process of finding quick lineup replacements.
