In the early morning of December 20, Beijing time, the NBA came a lot of bad news, let's sort out one by one, first of all, today is the NBA game day, a total of 18 teams a total of nine games to play, but many teams because of the impact of the epidemic, the team is not enough to play the league to ask for 8 players, many games have been confirmed to postpone.
First of all, according to woj, the game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks was confirmed to be postponed at 8:30 this morning, because the Cavaliers have added five positive players in the latest accounting test, plus the previous O'Corro and Mobley, the Cavaliers can not get 8 people to play, so they are forced to postpone the game with the Hawks. Among the five new players, there is Jarret Allen. Unfortunately, the Hawks' Trae Young also triggered a safety protocol and could not play.
Secondly, The Famous Woj also confirmed that the Nets' game with the Nuggets was postponed because the Big Three plus Ard and Millsap, including ten Nets players, could not play. It also belongs to the 8 players who can't compete, so the competition is postponed. Not only that, but because as many as ten people lie in the security protocol, the game against the Wizards on the 22nd will also be postponed.
Then Shams reported that the 76ers Drummond and Milton triggered a safety agreement, resulting in the 76ers and Pelicans game is likely to be postponed at 8:00 this morning, because the 76ers are also difficult to gather eight people, and there is not enough time to recruit from the development league, but the league is still trying to allow the 76ers to play the game and avoid more financial losses caused by postponing the game. After some final deliberation, the 76ers' game against the Pelicans was cancelled today, but tomorrow the 76ers' game against the Green Army will be played normally.
Finally, the Magic's match against the Raptors on the 21st of tomorrow was also postponed, and a total of 12 people on the Magic side were included in the injury list: Cole Anthony, Carter Jr., Sargas, Fultz, Isaac, Moore and McAwi were sidelined due to injury, and Bamba, Hampton, Rose, Wagner Grande and Brazdeckis triggered the health and safety agreement. The Raptors weren't much better, with Siakam Bandon and Dragic unable to play.
