NBA Schedule is set for Christmas Day

This upcoming NBA season is shaping up to be a banger, I truly mean that. The league schedulers are giving us amazing gifts to cherish as they released their Christmas Day lineup – and might I say, it is something I have been longing for a while now.

For everyone’s information, a fun tidbit, there will be eight teams on Christmas Day that made the postseason last season. Those eight teams? Phoenix, Milwaukee, Boston, Denver, Philadelphia, Dallas, Memphis, and Golden State.

Here is the Christmas Day lineup the NBA has confirmed:

Bucks at Celtics
76ers at Knicks
Suns at Nuggets
Lakers at Mavericks
Grizzlies at Warriors

This report has been confirmed by The Athletic. In the end, looking at all of this, I am super excited for this Christmas as these are some heart-pumping matchups. Happy the Suns got into the schedule, but I am really happy that the whole day is going to be filled with great games.

Isaac Okoro (Shoulder) Out At Least Two Weeks

According to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Isaac Okoro is set to miss at least the next two weeks due to an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder.

The 23-year-old suffered the injury on December 16th against the Brooklyn Nets; fans saw him play 20 minutes before injuring himself.

In 23 games this season, Okoro averages 6.6 points off 49.5% from the field, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists in 21.0 minutes.

Okoro is in the first year of his three-year, $33 million deal.

Joel Embiid (Sinus) Upgraded Questionable For Friday

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable for Friday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets.

The plan is for the team to reevaluate the 30-year-old hours before their game on Friday; it would be a quick turnaround. However, he is already progressing, so there is a possibility of him playing.

Embiid suffered a right sinus fracture during their game against the Indiana Pacers on December 13th; Philadelphia said they would reevaluate him a week from then.

Overall, Embiid has only played six games this season. This is mainly due to suspension, this current injury, and looming knee issues.

Hawks Want To Trade Clint Capela By Deadline

According to multiple reports headlined by Marc Stein, the Atlanta Hawks want to trade Clint Capela’s expiring contract by this year’s trade deadline.

For those unaware, the 30-year-old is making $22.4 million this season, with him becoming an unrestricted free agent next offseason. Atlanta is reportedly not interested in re-signing him.

Onyeka Okongwu, when Capela is no longer with the franchise, is expected to handle the starting center position. The Hawks believe the young big man can handle those responsibilities.

Capela is averaging 10.0 points and 9.4 rebounds in 27 games this season.
