Original/Oxygen is a metro

On December 18, the NBA had two news. The first was the Lakers' upset loss to the Timberwolves, and Davis was not only blown up by Downs, but also injured twice, and finally withdrew. The Lakers are absent from many players, in addition to injuries, but also quarantined. The second is the nets' official announcement, Irving officially lifted the ban. As long as he passes a sufficient number of nucleic acid tests and meets the Nets' requirements, he can play most of the road as a part-time player. Owen still doesn't get vaccinated, so his future is still uncertain.

Teams such as the Lakers and the Nets are incomplete due to the epidemic. For example, the Lakers, the main players such as Howard, Tucker, Bradley and Rivers in this game, were quarantined because of the trigger regulations. Westbrook and Munch also triggered the ordinance before, but they are not infected with the virus, so after the nucleic acid test is fine, they can come back, but this game Westbrook can be on, Munch is not on. Westbrook said after the game that he tested negative three times after one positive before being allowed to play.

In addition to the Lakers and Nets, teams like the Bulls also have many players who trigger the ordinance and are forced to quarantine. Because more and more cases of diagnosis or violations of the regulations have emerged, the outside world is discussing: Will the NBA be shut down this season? Or re-enter the park? The issue is clearly not just about fan discussions, including NBA executives and team owners, who are equally concerned, and they are more anxious.

According to a report on December 18, although the NBA has confirmed a lot of players this season! The squads are incomplete! But the bosses don't want a shutdown! And the bosses are strongly demanding that the NBA try to avoid being cut off this season. According to reports, at the NBA board call on Friday, the bosses collectively expressed their position: strongly demanding that the league do its best to avoid being postponed or canceled this season.

The NBA is also in action. For example, they are discussing with the players' union whether to allow teams that have been severely affected by the new crown to sign additional substitutes. Because some teams have too many players in quarantine, and even not enough people to play, the game can only be postponed. The salaries of these temporary substitutes should not be included in the team's salary cap and luxury tax, and the Nets have to pay an additional $500,000 in luxury taxes because they signed Galloway, which is definitely a burden for Tsai Chongxin.

In addition to these programs, the NBA may also relax regulations and increase epidemic prevention measures. On December 17, the former vice president of the Timberwolves revealed in an interview with the media that the NBA has begun to act, and they are considering allowing players who test positive for the new crown but are asymptomatic to continue to play and avoid being isolated. In addition, the NBA and the players' unions have unified their attitude: they will conduct nucleic acid tests on players every day during the Christmas period, while increasing the use of masks. Bosses don't want the NBA to shut down, and the NBA and players don't want to repeat the same mistakes.
