Let's take a look, since entering this month, many players have gathered to trigger safety agreements, first the Bulls and then the Nets, and then the Lakers' Tucker Howard and Munch have not been spared all quarantine. Not only the players were recruited, the coach was not spared, according to the famous report, the Kings coach Gentry was also tested positive, today the Kings have canceled the team's training, and Gentry said that he has no symptoms, but his throat is a little uncomfortable and itchy.

It seems that now the spread of the virus in the league is a bit uncontrollable, has been connected by points into a face, from the players to the coaches are not spared, according to this degree of development, with the speed of virus spread, there will soon be viewers and referees are infected, it is no exaggeration to say, this pass ten hundred speed is not empty. Although the NBA's epidemic prevention policy is very strict, people's thinking is now lax.
Things have both good and bad aspects, from the good side, in general, the player's new crown test is very frequent, triggering the safety agreement is often the early stage of the disease, as long as the treatment is appropriate, it is easy to restore health, for example, some time ago, when Jeremy Lin was isolated in China, he was also tested positive but soon the symptoms disappeared, and now he has practiced with the Beijing team. After recovering from infection, the player is not easy to get sick again, because antibodies are produced in the body. Moreover, many players are isolated, which can allow more players who do not have the opportunity to play in the NBA to come in, which is conducive to the replacement of fresh blood. The Bulls and Nets, these teams, have signed a lot of role players with difficult exceptions and given them opportunities.
The bad side can be imagined, like the star of the championship team being isolated, the direct impact is the economic benefits of the league, and the sales of tickets and catering, including jerseys, will be impacted. In addition, frequent isolation will also add an additional psychological burden to the players. In fact, the league management will certainly not sit idly by, but they also have no good countermeasures, like Los Angeles New York, although the prevention and control is more stringent, gathering in public places needs to be vaccinated, but the epidemic prevention policy of the league's 30 teams is not a unified caliber. Some places are strict and some places are loose, and you don't know where you will be infected.

To sum up, the NBA can only stick to the status quo and wait for the development of the situation, if it rushes to put the league into the park again and conducts closed games, this will lead to complaints from players and team management, and the league will lose more funds.
