On January 5, Beijing time, according to ESPN reporter Wonarowski, Jazz player Ingles triggered a health and safety agreement, becoming the first player for the Jazz to trigger an agreement this season. Before he triggered the agreement, the Jazz were the only team in the league that didn't have players recruited, and now all 30 teams in the NBA have players triggering the agreement.
Four days ago, the US media reported that at least 250 players in the league have triggered the agreement, and in general, about 500 players in the NBA play games every season. Counting the trigger players in these days, more than half of the players in the NBA have been recruited. In addition, several managers and referees have also been isolated.
At present, the NBA quarantine time has been reduced from 10 days to 6 days, but there are still many teams that lack major generals and need to sign players with difficult agreements. So far, 11 games have been postponed and played on another day.
NBA Chairman Adam Xiaohua revealed in a previous interview that 90% of the current positive cases in the league are caused by the Olmikron strain. However, the league does not have any plans to suspend the season, and some teams have decided to control the number of fans to prevent the impact of the virus as much as possible.
So far this season, Ingles has played in 36 games, averaging 7.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. The Jazz became the last team to have players trigger an agreement this season, and in the 2019-20 season, jazz's Gobert was the first player in the NBA to be diagnosed with a new crown.
