The wave of casualties due to the COVID-19 protocols has caused many teams to award contracts to veterans to give depth to the roster, as happened recently with Isaiah Thomas in the Los Angeles Lakers.
A complex situation exists in the world of sports due to COVID-19, although Greg Monroe is one of the athletes who are benefiting, by receiving a new opportunity to play at the highest level in the twilight of their careers.
