Dillon Brooks, De'Anthony Melton and Yves Pons have entered health and safety protocols, the Memphis Grizzlies announced Sunday. The three join teammates Ziaire Williams and Jarrett Culver.

Players who test positive for COVID-19 must isolate from the team for at least 10 days or submit two negative PCR tests within a 24-hour period.

Brooks and Melton have been key players in the guard rotation. Both played major roles in the Grizzlies winning 10 of 12 games without Ja Morant.

JA MORANT: Three reasons why reaction to Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant's comments were overblown

Wing depth has been a strength for the Grizzlies, but that is not the case now. Outside of Morant and Desmond Bane, John Konchar and Tyus Jones are the lone guards remaining who have played.

The Grizzlies have two back-to-backs scheduled over the next 10 days, including Sunday at Sacramento. Matchups against the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are also part of that stretch.
