Affected by the epidemic, all 30 teams have been greatly hit this season. It's bound to be an extraordinary season for the league. For example, the Bulls, the only player left in the team's big roster, Patrick Williams, did not trigger the health and safety agreement because he suffered a wrist dislocation injury shortly after the start of the game, had announced the season reimbursement in advance, and had not been with the team.
As a result, it has become a very rare thing for players to be able to not miss games so far this season. So far this season, a total of 12 players have maintained full attendance, namely The Kings' Hield, Clippers' Bledsoe, Magic's Wagner Jr., Wizards' Avedia, Timberwolves' Malik Beasley, Lone Ranger's Powell, Warriors' Bjelica and Looney, Suns' Paul and Bridges, Pistons' Sadiq Bay and Lakers' Westbrook.
The Warriors' successful return to the ranks of strong teams this season, in addition to the continued high-energy performances of stars such as Curry, the excellent performance of role players has also played a crucial role. Looney successfully took on the responsibility of the team's interior line, carrying all the dirty work for the team, so that the outside players could shoot without scruples. When Bjelica came to the Warriors, he also became a major part of the team, and he could continue to provide the team with outside firepower and ensure the height of the inside line. Both are indispensable rotation players for the team.
Wei Shao is the most magical member of these 12 people. Wei Shao triggered a health and health safety protocol in mid-December and is about to face quarantine. However, in the past 24 hours, Wei Shao has passed nucleic acid tests continuously and quickly lifted the isolation and returned to the team. Keep in mind that players who trigger health and safety protocols at that time will generally face a 10-day quarantine period. Westbrook's rapid return can be described as getting the God Script, which allowed him to successfully catch up with the team's game against the Kings. It is worth mentioning that the league has only had two special cases of rapid return to the team this season, and the other is James, both of whom have appeared in the Lakers.
The Suns are currently at the top of the league with a record of 34 wins and 9 losses, which is inseparable from Paul's excellent performance. Affected by injuries, the other two stars of the team, Booker and Ayton, have missed some games, which makes Paul's invaluable. At the age of 36, he still proved his worth by averaging 10 assists per game (no. 1 in the league) and 1.9 steals (no. 2 in the league). Paul has consistently ranked in the top ten of the official MVP list, with the highest ranking at No. 5.
Bridges is the team's true Iron Man. Since being drafted by the team in 18 years, he has maintained a full attendance posture and has not missed a single game in his career. He currently plays 270 consecutive games, which is also the league's active record. That's why last offseason, the Suns didn't hesitate to offer him a four-year, 90 million contract extension.
As of now, more than 320 players in the league have triggered health and safety protocols, which have been quarantined. The total number of players playing in the season exceeded 580, and many veterans were given the opportunity to return to the league, and this number is expected to continue to rise in the future. Hopefully, all players will be able to stay healthy in the future and impact the playoffs with the best posture.
