On December 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Nets sat at home to meet the Raptors. However, before the game, the Nets suffered a heavy blow, and 7 players in succession triggered the league's health and safety agreement and will enter the quarantine. Coupled with the inability of Harris and Irving to play, Durant can only choose to play with injuries, but the team will only have 8 players today.
At the beginning, only Millsap triggered in the Nets lineup, but earlier the Nets officially announced that Aldridge, Bembry, Carter and James Johnson were also triggered, and the whole team entered the quarantine, which also caused the team's rotation lineup to be hit hard, and suddenly 5 players were missing. But this is not over, just a short time ago, the Nets officially announced that Harden and Brown triggered the safety protocol, it is likely to be positive in the pre-game test, can only be forced into isolation.
Originally thought that as long as there is Durant and Harden on the line, did not expect Harden to be recruited, which makes the Nets how to play? The players who were absent were all the team's main rotations, as well as the starters, and all of a sudden there were 7 players missing, and the Nets' strength was also seriously damaged. I really didn't expect that the Nets would encounter so much trouble at once, if these players were all absent for at least 10 days, then the Nets' first position in the East might not be saved. The only good thing is that none of these players have symptoms and can return to the field as long as they test negative twice in a row in the next 24 hours.
The Nets then officially announced that Durant would play in today's game, but even if he was added, the Nets only had 8 players to play, the other 7 players were: Mills, Cameron Thomas, Griffin, Clarkston, Dailon Sharp, David Duke Jr., and Kessler Edwards.
