On December 17, Beijing time, according to the famous shams report, the Nets plan to sign free agent James Ennis with a difficult exception. Once officially announced, this will also be the second difficult exception for the Nets to use.
Previously, the Nets had signed Galloway with a difficult exception, which made his debut after joining the Nets. Against Philadelphia, he played 9:02, 1-of-2 shooting, hit 1 three-pointer and finished with 3 points and 1 rebound.
If Ennis is signed, that would be the second difficult exception the Nets use. According to payroll expert Bobby Marks, when a team has multiple people triggering health and safety agreements, the team has two difficult exceptions to use.
The Nets have recently been hit hard by the epidemic, including Harden, and 7 members of the team are still in quarantine. Speaking about the team's quarantined players, Nash said, "They're certainly not going to be allowed into the training ground, but if they don't have symptoms, they can work out at home and I don't know what type of equipment they have in their home or apartment." ”
But in this case, the burden on Durant's shoulders is heavier. Despite taking Philadelphia, Durant played 39 minutes. Entering December, Durant has played 244 minutes in 7 games and played at least 38 minutes in seven consecutive games. With the signing of Ennis, the Nets also hope to alleviate durant's playing time pressure to some extent.
