Missing 7 due to coronavirus protocols, Nets sign Galloway
NEW YORK (AP)The Brooklyn Nets, missing seven players because of the NBA's coronavirus protocols, signed veteran guard Langston Galloway to a 10-day contract Thursday.
The Nets have nine players listed as out on their injury report for their home game Thursday against Philadelphia, leaving them with the minimum eight required to start a game.
So they brought in Galloway, who spent last season with the Phoenix Suns. He has played for five teams in seven NBA seasons.
Starters James Harden, LaMarcus Aldridge and DeAndre' Bembry are all in health and safety protocols, along with Bruce Brown, Paul Millsap, Jevon Carter and James Johnson. They could miss all four Nets home games this week.
Brooklyn remains without Kyrie Irving, who is ineligible to play in New York because he hasn't met the city's vaccine mandate. Starting swingman Joe Harris is recovering from ankle surgery.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Former Guinean President Alpha Conde left the country for medical treatment in the United Arab Emirates after spending more than four months in the custody of the military junta that overthrew him, witnesses said Monday.
The junta had announced earlier this month that the 83-year-old former president was not in good health and would be seeking treatment abroad. No details were given on his diagnosis, though witnesses at the airport in Conakry, the capital, confirmed that his plane was en route to Abu Dhabi.
