Late Sunday, with the number of players in health and safety protocols rising and the NBA desperately trying to avoid a shutdown, the league and players union agreed to a dramatic increase in the number of replacement players teams can sign.
For early reports it appears that the Nets, with the largest number of players with positive or inconclusive tests, could sign up to 10 replacements through mid-January and must sign at least three replacements, which they’ve already done with hardship additions of Langston Galloway, Shaq Harrison and James Ennis III. The Nets are also reportedly going to add Wenyen Gabriel, per Shams Charania.
