Aldridge among 4 Nets joining Millsap in COVID-19 protocols
With COVID-19 cases popping up throughout the NBA, the Brooklyn Nets are the latest team to report an outbreak.
LaMarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Bembry, James Johnson, and Jevon Carter joined Paul Millsap in the league's health and safety protocols, the Nets announced Tuesday. Millsap entered protocols Monday.
All five players are required to stay away from the team for at least 10 days. Along with Kyrie Irving's absence and Joe Harris' injury, Brooklyn currently has just 10 players on its roster.
The Nets also announced that star Kevin Durant is dealing with right ankle soreness and is questionable to suit up in Tuesday's contest against the Toronto Raptors, according to ESPN's Marc J. Spears.
The NBA postponed two Chicago Bulls games this week after the team was down to eight active players due to a COVID-19 outbreak.
