NBA Tar Heels: Week 2 Review / Week 3 Preview
Each Monday during the NBA season, AllTarHeels will review the prior week and preview the week ahead for each Tar Heel in the NBA.
Each Monday during the NBA season, I will provide a little snapshot review of the prior week and preview the week ahead for each Tar Heel in the NBA. This week, we are looking back at games from December 28 through January 3 and looking ahead to games from January 4-10.
After the first two weeks of the season the 76ers (Tony Bradley and Danny Green) lead the Eastern Conference with a 5-1 record. Cameron Johnson’s Suns have continued the heightened level of play they discovered in the bubble and are tied with both Los Angeles teams for first in the West with a 5-2 start.
Nassir Little (Trail Blazers) has finally returned from COVID protocols but has yet to log any court time in a game.
There are currently 12 Tar Heels on either full NBA or two-way contracts. Here’s a brief look at each one, what he did in the previous week of games, and a preview of the week ahead.
Note: all times listed are Eastern.
