The latest COVID-19 variant is doing its very best to ensure that all five NBA Christmas Day games are as contagious and boring as possible.
Over the last several weeks, Omicron has ravaged the NBA with new players entering health and safety protocols seemingly every hour and multiple games receiving postponements. All-Star players such as Kevin Durant, Luka Doncic, Trae Young, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Bradley Beal, among plenty others, are currently sidelined due to Covid-19 protocols. James Harden and Zach Lavine were just cleared out of protocols on Thursday.
Unfortunately, with so many former Kentucky players suiting up night in and night out for their respective NBA teams (30 one-time Wildcats have played at least one minute of NBA action in the 2021-22 season), they were bound to meet a similar fate.
