Games are being postponed here and there across the NBA and teams are running out skeleton crews due to the large numbers of players entering COVID-19 health and safety protocols. 40-year-old Joe Johnson will be suiting up as a Boston Celtic for the first time since 2002. Check your voicemail — you could be a temporary replacement player!
Tonight’s contest between the Philadelphia 76ers and Atlanta Hawks is slated to happen, but both teams will have multiple rotation players unavailable. Danny Green, Georges Niang, Andre Drummond, and Shake Milton are all in the protocols for the Sixers, while Atlanta is even worse off with Trae Young, Danilo Gallinari, Clint Capela, Lou Williams, and Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot all on the list.
