On December 19, 2021, Beijing time, the Nets suffered another heavy blow, and in the case that hardened, Aldridge, Millsap, Bembry, Bruce Brown, James Johnson and Jevon Carter triggered the health and safety agreement and could not play, the team's home star Durant did not avoid!
The Nets officially announced that Durant also set off for the league's health and safety agreement, becoming the eighth player on the Nets to trigger a health and safety agreement! This also makes the Nets have no main players to play, and at present, in the previous rotation lineup, the only people who can play now are Claxton, Mills and Griffin!
For teammates who train together every day, the daily contact time is too long, so basically as long as one person is positive, basically there will be multiple people who have been tested positive continuously. After seven consecutive people in the Nets were tested positive, it is actually possible to imagine that there are other people on the team who are positive! Now the Nets are basically difficult to line up any competitive lineup, can only rely on veteran Griffin and Mills to lead the team forward, plus Young players such as Duke, Thomas, Edwards, Sharp, and the team just signed a 10-day contract with Galloway, Harrison and Ennis, it is difficult to play any competitiveness!
But in fact, Durant triggered a health and safety agreement is not a bad thing, even if the players in the league are tested positive, there is basically no impact, as long as 10 days later can continue to play, there is no physical problem. So Durant's positive this time should allow him to have more time to rest, after all, he was really tired from the recent game, and his ankles also showed sore symptoms, and there may really be big hidden dangers if he continues like this.
So Durant can use these 10 days to make good adjustments and rest, and strive to reduce the risk of injury and reduce the physical load when he returns later, so that the Nets this season can have a greater possibility to compete for the championship!
