On December 12, Beijing time, the Washington Wizards were also attacked by the epidemic, and the Wizards officials have announced that Kuzma triggered a health and safety agreement and will miss today's game with the Jazz.
Wizards Kuzma has been sidelined for the first time this season, and it's not known how long he'll be out; so far this season, Kuzma has played in 26 games for the Wizards, averaging 32.8 minutes per game, 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.6 steals, 42.5 percent from the field, 35.5 percent from three-point range and 67.9 percent from the free throw line.
In the past 24 hours, two things have happened to Kuzma - in the Deadly Pistons game, Kuzma was fined $15,000 by the league for sticking his middle finger at fans, and today he was quarantined for triggering the epidemic prevention agreement, and Kuzma's absence is a big blow to the Wizards.
According to Marc Stein, there are currently 16 people in the league who trigger health and safety agreements, namely The Hornets Lamelo Ball, Plumley, McDaniels, Rozier and Ismail Smith; bulls DeRozan, Kobe White, Matt Thomas, Jawant Green and Jones Jr.; Grizzlies Morant and Dillon Brooks, Ugerry, Pacers coach Carlisle and Holliday, and Wizards Kuzma.
Both the Hornets and the Bulls have five players quarantined, have missed many games, and have become the hardest hit areas in the league.
The epidemic has become a new crisis in the league, even if the vaccination rate reaches 97%, the number of people who trigger health and safety agreements this season has exceeded last season, and Morant and Ujerri are both vaccinated and injected with reinforcing injections, but they are still confirmed to be quarantined for the new crown.
