Billy Donovan said, upon testing, Derrick Jones Jr.’s hamstring injury “doesn’t look too bad.” Doesn’t believe it’ll be a long-term absence
Team plans to re-evaluate DJJ after next two games, which would make him out Wed vs. TOR. Bulls have three off-days right after that – 6:38 PM
Micah Adams @MicahAdams13
f the NBA had to show 5 classic Christmas games in lieu of live games, what are the best 5 with the caveat that no team or player could appear 2x?
I’d go…
1984 Knicks-Nets
1990 Bulls-Pistons
2003 Cavs-Magic
2004 Lakers-Heat
2018 Celtics-76ers – 6:17 PM

Doug Smith @SmithRaps
The emergency 10-day guys the Raptors adding — G Brandon Goodwin and F Juwan Morgan — makes them whole with NBA requirements.
A crappy, timing-is-everything thing? Hear Sam Dekker’s deal in Turkey does not include an NBA out. But, he’s got a gig so good for him, I guess – 2:19 PM
