They flew to Chicago so that OG Anunoby could enter protocols there and presumably have to isolate there.
Maybe a good rule of thumb: If a team is having an outbreak, at 3-4 players, assume that’s just the start of things. – 11:40 AM

League makes it officially official Raptors at Bulls postponed and @Adrian Wojnarowski reporting OG Anunoby now in the protocols, too – 11:39 AM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
OG Anunoby has entered the COVID protocols, per @Adrian Wojnarowski. That makes 8 Raptors: Anunoby, Pascal Siakam, Dalano Banton, Gary Trent Jr., Fred VanVleet, Malachi Flynn, Scottie Barnes, Precious Achiuwa.
Currently, the only team with more players in the protocol is Brooklyn (10). – 11:38 AM

And there you have it. Via Woj final remaining Raptors’ starter not in protocols succumbs and that is reason Chicago game is finally postponed. Add OG Anunoby making it seven in health and safety protocols for the Raps. – 11:37 AM

Raptors players in COVID protocols: Siakam, Banton, Trent, VanVleet, Flynn, Barnes, Achiuwa.
They’re down to 7 regulars (Anunoby, Birch, Watanabe, Mykhailiuk, Boucher, Champagnie, Bonga) + replacement players for tomorrow’s game in Chicago, which is still on track to be played. – 2:17 PM
Aaron Rose @AaronBenRose
Raptors regular roster now sits six if Khem Birch and David Johnson remain out: OG Anunoby, Svi Mykhailiuk, Yuta Watanabe, Justin Champagnie, Isaac Bonga, & Chris Boucher. Nik Stauskas, Juwan Morgan, Brandon Goodwin, & Tremont Waters all reportedly added – 2:09 PM
Mike Ganter @Mike_Ganter
Uggg. Now Scottie Barnes and Precious Achiuwa in health and safety protocols. That’s seven. Lone Raptors’ starter remaining is Anunoby. They have to be considering postponing tomorrow in Chicago, don’t they? – 2:00 PM
Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Here’s where Raps roster stands:
