There are already 25 members in quarantine and in some meetings they have had to deal with two instead of the three regulations
They call it health and safety protocol. Just because it’s more chic than calling it quarantine. In the NBA it is six days. One more proof (along with Rubio, the Gasols or the Hernangómez) that the NBA is what a USA (five days of rest) and Spain that has just released the seven-day convalescence decreed by Pedro Sánchez and his choir of autonomous unanimities .
In a nutshell; The NBA does not currently have enough referees for its games, which are many and very close. Thirty teams, playing every other night, is a daunting task for the 70 referees who, in trios, have to order the best and largest basketball league on the planet. Now 25 of them are out.
So the business that Adam Silver runs has had to turn to replacement soldiers, that is, to the referees of the development league, that kind of sponsored Second Division to prevent the discards of the first squads from marching to China and its extinct and millionaire siren songs. In addition, they take advantage of the fact that the D League makes a winter break until Wednesday. Some parties, few, have even been officiated with only two referees.
