1 Day without Hoops is too many

Stephen Curry and Jayson Tatum have been named Players of The Week for Week 2.
There were no games yesterday due to it being election day, but tonight the games start back up again with a packed 10 game slate.
In other news, the Celtics are no longer the last undefeated team left in the league (the Wolves handed them and the Nuggets their first Ls of the year), and the Lakers complained to the league office that the 38 year old LeBron James isn’t getting enough fouls called for him.
Injury Updates: Jamal Murray (hamstring) is expected to miss several games. CJ McCollum has a collapsed lung and will be out for awhile. Terry Rozier suffered a groin injury and had to be helped off the court, so he’s likely to miss time. Wendell Carter Jr. suffered a fractured hand and underwent surgery, so he’ll be out for 3 weeks. Devin Vassell (groin) will be out “for a while” according to Gregg Popovich. Nic Claxton and Cam Johnson have both been ruled out for the foreseeable future with foot injuries. We wish all these guys speedy and successful recoveries.

The Nets signed Keon Johnson, looking to add some wing scoring and defense. Look for more moves sooner than later with names like James Harden being moved to LA and Malcolm Brogdon looking to be moved in the coming weeks.
The Free Agent market is still deep with vets like Isaiah Thomas, Dwight Howard, Rudy Gay, Blake Griffin, Montrezl Harrell (he’ll be out for a few months), and John Wall ready to contribute to winning or to mentor young guys. There are a few younger names on the market, like Kai Jones (yikes), Kevin Porter Jr (yikes again), Sharife Cooper, and Darius Bazley.

None until tonight!
