Despite a wave of positive cases and dozens of players still in health and safety protocols, the NBA’s Christmas slate is scheduled to go on as planned.
For many the day will be marked by who doesn’t play. Likely among them: Trae Young, Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kyrie Irving, Luka Donu010diu0107, Al Horford, Andrew Wiggins, Clint Capela, Anthony Davis (who’s out with a sprained knee) and many more. But since basketball will indeed be played, here’s one thing I’ll be watching for/thinking about during all five games. Happy Holidays!
