Lavin confirmed that the health and safety agreement was triggered, and 9 people in the Bulls team have been "hit"

On December 13, Beijing time, according to esplanade reporter Wernalovsky, the source revealed that the Bulls' core zach Lavin triggered a health and safety agreement.

Renowned journalist Samas Charaniya then provided follow-up coverage, and Lavin will be absent for at least 10 days unless he is able to provide a continuous nucleic acid test negative report within the next 24 hours. In addition to Lavin, it is Troy Brown who triggers the health and safety agreement today.

Two more players were made worse for the Bulls. Since entering December, the Bulls have had a total of nine players under health and safety agreements, including DeMar DeRozan, Kobe White, Jawant Green, Matt Thomas, Derrick Jones Jr., Ayo Dawsum, and Stanley Johnson. The Bulls have become the team most affected by COVID-19 in the entire league.

The Bulls have recovered overall this season, temporarily finishing third in the East with a record of 17 wins and 10 losses, but with many players unable to play, the team has recently suffered two consecutive defeats. Consecutive defeats have had a great negative impact on the morale of the team, especially the next two core lavine and DeRozan can not play, which is a considerable weakening of both the team's offensive and defensive ends. Although the Bulls have urgently applied to the league for an exception, the addition of the free market clearly won't solve the team's woes any time soon.

However, according to media reports, Kobe White has returned to the team for training in recent days, and may play in this week's Bulls vs. Pistons and Raptors games, and DeRozan is also expected to make a recent comeback to help stabilize the situation.

Donovan said after yesterday's game, "Now everyone on the team may feel a little uncomfortable because we are constantly losing players, we send different players, we need different players to play more. ”
