The 2021-22 NBA season has been filled with plenty of highs and lows, with the latter of the two mostly coming due to COVID outbreaks and postponed games. To date, there have been 11 games postponed and rescheduled.
There was a December outbreak that led to a flurry of shorthanded teams and the need for the league to create “hardship” 10-day contracts. While it’s been an overwhelming negative, there have been some bright spots involved with players getting a second chance or an opportunity they may have never had in a regular season.
We saw Joe Johnson get a bucket in the 2021-22 season, Isaiah Thomas return, Lance Stephenson just scored 20 in a quarter and Bismack Biyombo has been a revelation for the Phoenix Suns just to name a few, so it hasn’t been ALL bad.
