On December 19, Beijing time, the game between the Nets and the Magic, in a way, has become a "big game". Who dares to be worse than me? There are too many players absent from both teams. NBA reporter Reynolds wrote: "In the last meeting between the two teams, a total of 19 players played, and this time, a total of 22 players from both teams were absent. ”
22 players absent? You read that right! According to the latest injury reports from both teams, the Magic have 12 players determined not to play in this game, and the Nets have 10 missed.
For the Magic, absent players include Cole Anthony, Bamba, Brazdeckies, Wendell Carter, McAvoy, Fultz, Hampton, Isaac, Moore, Rose, Saggers and Wagner Grande. Seven of them were injured and five were in isolation.
In the Nets, absent players include Durant, Harden, Irving, Harris, James Johnson, Aldridge, Bemburi, Millsap, Brown, Andwan Carter. According to the Nets' official report, Mills was originally suspended in this game, and then activated. Perhaps the Nets were absent from too many players and had to temporarily change Mills' rotation plan. Clarkston is in a state of doubt.
Nets reporter Winfield also posted a screenshot of his conversation with his son, he sent the Nets and Magic injury list to his son to see, the son was shocked, he is going to see the ball tonight, it seems likely to see a lonely.
According to NBA reporter Stein, the NBA's current strategy is the same as last season, not to consider suspending the season, but to find a way to continue playing.
The league believes that even if the game is suspended for a week/a month, it does not mean that the epidemic can disappear completely. With this stance, the season will continue, even if the absence of stars affects the viewing.
