The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association came to an agreement Sunday night on rules over allowing additional replacement players for teams dealing with players entering the league's health and safety protocols, according to a memo obtained by ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The amended rules, which were outlined in the memo, went into effect Sunday night and will remain in place until Jan. 19 -- at which time the league will give teams further guidance on how things will proceed from there.
Under the agreement, teams will be allowed to sign a replacement player for each positive COVID-19 case that crops up across its roster.
