Report: Bulls at 8 active players as Alize Johnson tests positive

Chicago Bulls forward Alize Johnson entered the NBA's health and safety protocols after testing positive for COVID-19, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Johnson's positive result leaves Chicago with just eight active players, the minimum amount required to compete in a game, Wojnarowski notes.

Nevertheless, the NBA announced later on Monday that the Bulls' next two games - Tuesday against the Detroit Pistons and Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors - have been postponed.

Johnson is the 10th Bulls player to enter COVID-19 protocols in December alone. He joins Coby White, Javonte Green, DeMar DeRozan, Matt Thomas, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dosunmu, Stanley Johnson, Troy Brown Jr., and Zach LaVine.
