On January 5, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, in the past night, the NBA came a number of news, one of which was officially concluded, the Jazz and the Thunder reached a 2-for-0 deal; Jazz Ingles triggered a health and safety agreement, so that all 30 teams in the league have players infected; the Nets announced the latest injury report, Irving's next game officially returned, ushering in the season debut.
According to The Famous Woj, the Jazz traded guard Miye Oni to the Thunder with a 2028 second-round pick.
As you can see, the Jazz didn't get a payoff in this deal, completing a 2-for-0 deal, which they did to free up a player spot and have almost $2.4 million left in the luxury tax, which is much better than cutting Oni directly. The Thunder will cut Oni after completing the deal. Oni, the No. 58 pick in the 2019 draft, has played 16 games for the Jazz this season, all during garbage hours, averaging just 0.3 points, 0.4 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game.
After the Jazz completed the trade, bad news came from the team, and Ingles triggered a health and safety agreement, which was also the first time that the Jazz had a player trigger an agreement this season. Ingles has played 36 games for the Jazz this season, averaging 35.2 minutes per game, 7.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists, and shooting 37.6% from three-point range.
Prior to this, the Jazz team was the only team in the league that did not have players to trigger the safety agreement, and with Ingles triggering the agreement, none of the league's 30 teams have been spared, all of them have players infected.
The Nets updated their latest injury report, with only 2 players on the roster, with Harris continuing to be absent due to injury, and the next game will be his 22nd consecutive absence; Aldridge is placed in the suspect list, with a 50% probability of playing. As you can see, Irving's name does not appear, which also means that he will officially return in the next game and usher in the debut of the new season. For this moment, Nets fans have been waiting for a long time.
However, Irving can still only play away games, and he has not been vaccinated and does not meet the epidemic prevention regulations in New York. With Irving's return, the Nets Big Three will also play together again after a gap of 7 months, the last time was the first game against the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals last season, after Harden's hamstring injury, Irving sprained his ankle, and then the new season began Irving was not vaccinated, was directly banned by the team, and only now returned. Now that Irving is back, the Nets will once again attack the championship.
