The Jazz are the closing group within the NBA to report a COVID-19 case this season
(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Utah Jazz guard Joe Ingles (2) because the Utah Jazz host the Boston Celtics, NBA basketball in Salt Lake Town on Friday, Dec. 3, 2021.
Utah Jazz ahead Joe Ingles has entered the NBA’s COVID well being and protection protocols, making sure that he’ll leave out no less than 5 days, in keeping with ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Ingles was once the primary at the Jazz to go into the protocols, breaking a exceptional streak of well being for Utah. Till Tuesday, the Jazz have been the league’s most effective group with no COVID-related absence. In the meantime, 15 of the league’s 30 groups had already used no less than 20 avid gamers, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
With Ingles’ placement within the inactive record, Miye Oni’s business to Oklahoma Town on Tuesday, and middle Udoka Azubuike’s badly sprained ankle, the Jazz have simply 13 avid gamers to be had for Wednesday’s sport in opposition to Denver. And that’s if Hassan Whiteside (concussion) and Eric Paschall (non-public causes) can play — each have been overdue scratches for the Jazz’s sport in opposition to New Orleans on Monday.
If groups have fewer than 13 avid gamers to be had, groups should signal a 10-day hardship participant or avid gamers to fill the gaps. Hardship avid gamers don’t rely in opposition to the wage cap or luxurious tax.
Ingles had ignored the Jazz’s Dec. 31 sport in opposition to Minnesota because of a again pressure, his most effective different inactive record look of the season. The Australian is averaging 7.6 issues and three.6 assists in line with sport in 25.2 mins at the ground for the Jazz.
