Hornets decimated by injuries/covid

[celticsclay]

Just turned on the Hornets game flipping channels and man, the hornets roster is absolutely destroyed right now.

They are down Rozier, Lamelo, Zeller, Mcdaniels, Ish Smith, PJ Washington and Nic Richards. That is 6 out of their top 9 rotation.

There bench tonight is players I have never heard of outside Booknight (who doesn't normally really play). They are playing a guy named Thor and a guy named Kulboka I don't see on their roster. They are also giving moments to Kai Jones and started Vernon Carey Jr.

While it does help the celtics, it kind of stinks for the league to see these teams have to basically play a g league team to avoid a forfeit (it happened to philly earlier this season also).

 Yeah its garbage time in Charlotte.  Good young
Young team, it's a shame.

[Birdman]

Some of it cause of Covid related?

Curse of Hayward.

Yeah think they had an outbreak of sorts. At least 5 of these are covid. 76ers have had an outbreak that took out there whole team also. Bulls have had a mini outbreak.

[celticsclay]

Also their g league and two players plus bridges and hayward beat the kings somehow. The kings are a mess.

[SparzWizard]

At least Hayward isn't on that list.

But I anticipate it not lasting long.

It's not ending anytime soon either. This may be the new normal for the next few years.

[celticsclay]

I think it will be less common after this season.

Anybody who talks to anybody who works in an ER is not surprised. Bunch of people running around fantasizing the problem is over when it’s clear that if this keeps up, 2022 may finally be the year when it becomes difficult to find anybody outside the national guard to staff ERs. But let’s pick freedumb over doctors/nurses, or something? These doctors/nurses have the freedom to do something else, so picking freedumb could get you or someone you love killed the next time you or someone you love us in need of an ER visit? Think about it. Freedom ain’t free and sometimes we all must sacrifice some freedom to keep us prosperous, safe and free…

The Bulls now have 10 players in protocol. Possibility they could have to a forfeit a game.
