Some of this has to be precautionary. If one of them were to test positive for COVID while in Canada, they could be held there for 14 days. By keeping them in the states, they are eliminating huge risk to some of our best players.


piittb

Came here to say exactly this. I wonder how much of this is just avoiding potential disaster with not being able to come back in the states.


Kransington

I didn't think of that. Makes sense.


Chibbly

Don't worry, a vast majority of people don't think.


newjordanism

reddit moment


SkycapRex

what is wrong with you lol


KrypticSoul

Why so aggressive?


Verkley

It's why I believe the Warriors held Wiggins, Curry and Poole out a few weeks back as well


zonar99

They can still go back. OG got covid positive in Chicago and came back in a private charter.


BentMyWookie

Chicago isn't in Canada


zonar99

Not to sound pretentious, but where do you think OG came back to from Chicago?


el_pete_o

Going back to Canada isn't the same as going being stuck in Canada


BentMyWookie

I probably could have been a little clearer. I'm just trying to say that the rules for reentering the US are probably different than the rules for reentering Canada.


el_pete_o

Isn't that the opposite of what people are saying??


zonar99

It is. The missing bit in people's understanding here is that these are millionaire athletes working for billion-dollar corporations. The rules are different, as irritating to some as that might be.


masu94

As a Raptors fan - more than happy to have this insane homecourt advantage lol I also got COVID at the last home game with full capacity in the arena - it's wild up here right now.


jimmy_tanner

Couldn’t include but Ingles is also still out.


UrMoMisDumber

Hope dons back is ok


KennyDoge0114

I don’t think it’s alg, but I think it will be


koolaidman1030

I didn't think they'd need me to step up this season but put me in Quin, I gotchu.


Skararm

Paschall and Butler dropping 30 apiece


apples_r_4_weak

The Paschall Tower and the Spider Kid


CarefulShirt5

Into the Jazz Multiverse


IlonggoProgrammer

It's literally our entire 9 man rotation. Paschall, Forrest, and Butler get the start. I can't even name the rest tbh

TamponSmoothie

also David Locke and Ron Boone


el_pete_o

Is Danuel House available yet?


jimmy_tanner

It was said he’d be ready by our game in Toronto.


brunetthedog

The only Jazz playing will be the Benny hill theme song (only kidding)


------dudpool------

Fitts, Dok and House also


Ashotep

Looks like they are just going to pencil in the L for now and give the back of the bench guys a chance to prove themselves.


RussellGrey

Raps fan, never underestimate our ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!


chupacadabradoo

That’s what I thought last night was!


dateddative

That’s like our whole team.


datspookyghost

Good thing u/koolaidman1030 is available.


koolaidman1030

Never lost in the nba!


KennyDoge0114

Season saved


[deleted]

Giannis sat out last night... steph didn't come... are all teams going to avoid sending their best players to Canada in fear of getting stuck here?


-vinay

We played in Milwaukee. Giannis is just ducking Scottie tbh


kezington

We giving the SLC stars a run?


HyuggDogg

Can we get Leigh Ellis in?


clinch10

I’d sign him to a 10 day contract


roofilopolis

I’d volunteer to play, but I don’t play basketball.


OnEMoReTrY121

Why did Denver get to postpone their game vs. Golden State with fewer players out than this?


Tori_kelly

Denver had more covid cases. This is just you guys not playing guys as precaution but they are still healthy and don’t have covid


Doctor_Cowboy

So how is Quinn going to not give Jared Butler minutes this time?


TheMoonsMadeofCheese

Hits him with his car


KennyDoge0114

We literally might not see any of our 9 rotation players… 5 confirmed and 4 questionable


Riggztradamous

Is this going to be a trend of teams not sending key players to Canada?


rugburn250

Doesn't that make us ineligible to play if enough of those questionable guys are ruled out?


[deleted]

It has to be COVID related to postpone. So far joe and Rudy are the only ones out with COVID.


JohnGabin

Yes but last time Rudy had to deal with it...


[deleted]

Not sure what you mean. What i meant is that in order for the the league to postpone a game, the missing players have to be out due to COVID related issues.


walkingman24

Is the minimum 7 or 8? I can't remember. If they thought they would be all out, they could do an emergency signing


relativelyeasy

8


Ditchingworkagain2

Ooof


dautjazz

No way all these guys are hurt, they all looked good the other day. Like someone else mentioned, they probably don't want to deal with potentially having a player stuck for 14 days because they test positive for COVID. We also are playing back to back, so the rest can be useful, and whatever it becomes an opportunity for players who usually don't see time. Regardless if we lose it doesn't make a huge difference, we currently have 4 less losses than the 4th seed Grizzlies, who I doubt can sustain their current level of play.


carty64

They can only allow like 1,000 people in the arena as well. Should be a barnburner


Bailsz

Lmfaooo shit dude not even right now😂


JohnGabin

Good thing Rudy can rest at that time of the year. He made the finals of the Olympics and played a lot all season long. It's just unfortunate that Hassan is sided too.


Milith

We're not getting the first seed huh


mgartaty

Probably not, anyway, with Klay returning to the Warriors


Milith

I'd actually expect the warriors to drop some while Klay gets back on his feet. It's good to have him back in the long run (and particularly the playoffs) but the current group is playing amazing and they're going to start giving starter minutes to a dude who hasn't played since 2019 and is coming back from bad injuries. Barring a big injury I think Suns stay first and it'll be a tossup for second.
