The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association came to an agreement Sunday night on rules 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.<\/p>\n
The amended rules, which were outlined in the memo, went into effect Sunday night, and they will remain in place until Jan. 19 — at which time the league will give teams further guidance on how things will proceed from there.<\/p>\n
Under the agreement, a team will be allowed to sign a replacement player for each positive COVID-19 case that crops up across its roster. So, if a team has five positive cases of COVID-19, for example, it could sign five replacement players.<\/p>\n
As part of the agreement, the NBA and the NBPA will scrap the limit on the number of games a two-way player is allowed to be on a team’s active roster. Under a previous agreement that the two sides came to this summer, there had been a 50-game limit. Now, that limit no longer exists, with players getting paid an amended rate if they wind up being active for more than 50 games this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
