On December 12, Beijing time, the NBA has recently encountered major troubles, and there have been players infected one after another, testing positive, triggering health and safety protocols, and will enter isolation. And this morning, the NBA has 5 more players infected, plus these 5 people, and there are currently 18 people in the league who are in quarantine.
The Wizards have officially announced that team forward Kuzma, who triggered a health and safety agreement, will miss today's game against the Jazz.
This is very bad news for Kuzma, who has been in good form recently, averaging 13.4 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game after joining the Wizards. In the last game against the Pistons, he hit a quasi-killer three-pointer. Once it's determined, Kuzma will be absent for at least 10 days.
Heat forward Caleb Martin and Knicks player Pinto also went into quarantine for triggering a health and safety protocol. The Heat Martin has been heavily used in recent days, the team's core Butler and Adebayo are absent due to injury, he has the trust of the manager, facing the Bucks 8-of-8 to shoot 28 points, but unfortunately he is missing again.
Pinto, who has averaged 8.7 points and 3.9 rebounds per game this season, is an important rotation player for the team, and his absence will also damage the depth of the team's lineup.
The worst is also the East dark horse , the Chicago Bulls, and two more players, Dow Soum and Stanley Johnson, triggered the league's health and safety agreement and may miss several games. You know, Johnson was signed by the team's difficult special case, and he didn't expect to be infected again, which is really unlucky. With the addition of these two players, the Bulls have infected as many as 7 players, the other 5 being DeRozan, Kobe White, Matt Thomas, Jawant Green and Derrick Jones Jr. I don't know if the Bulls can withstand this difficult time, and they are currently 2nd in the East with a record of 17 wins and 9 losses.
Plus the 5 players triggered today, there are currently 20 people in the NBA in quarantine, including 18 players, as well as Pacers coach Carlisle and Raptors president Ujerry. This is also a big problem for the league, in which Carlisle and Ujerri have also been given a booster injection, which is even more worrying.
