NBA: Christmas Cycle Endangered Due to Corona Expansion | Israel today

Although Commissioner Adam Silver promised to do everything to ensure that the best league in the world continues as usual, the wave of sticking and postponement of games calls into question the festive game day.


Just yesterday, the U.S. professional hockey league, the NHL, announced that they are advancing to the Christmas break due to the spread of the corona, and it now appears that even in the NBA, the best basketball league in the world, there is concern that they will have to give up the Christmas cycle.

The number of players contagious in the league, including big stars, is steadily increasing, and teams are having a hard time putting together a proper squad for games;

Some even had to sign marginalized and older players (Boston Celtics brought back 40-year-old Joe Johnson) so as not to postpone games.

There are also teams that are forced to strike from activists, such as the Brooklyn Nets, whose three games have already been postponed due to ten players being infected or going into isolation due to the NBA Corona Protocol.

Commissioner Adam Silver promised to do everything possible to prevent the league from being shut down and especially to prevent the non-existence of the festive Christmas cycle, which is considered a tradition, which as mentioned no one wants to miss.

A decision on the matter should be made in the next day
