This season's NBA game is evolving into a war of attrition. Not yet into Christmas, the NBA already has 10 percent of its NBA players in the league's health and safety deals, including star players like Westbrook, DeRozan, LaVine and The Three-Goal. The Warriors, who ranked first in the league, have not been able to escape this time. According to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, team guard Jordan Poole triggered the league's health and safety deal and will miss the game against the Celtics on the morning of the 18th.
Currently, the Warriors are playing the penultimate away game of the "five-game game". In the morning training session, Poole attended the team's training normally and also played a head-to-head with Wiggins. Today, Poole triggers a coalition security agreement and will be absent for at least 10 days unless two negative proofs are provided within 48 hours.
This season, Poole has been very good. He averaged 17.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, all three of which reached career highs. He is also the third scoring point for this Warriors team, behind Curry and Wiggins. Poole's absence will inevitably affect the Warriors' offense and team rotation. The good news is that Klay Thompson will be back after Christmas.
At this stage, the Warriors can only hope that the team will no longer have anyone to "recruit", otherwise it will be like the Bulls, Nets, and Lakers, signing people from the development league to emergency.
