Each Monday during the NBA regular season, All Tar Heels will review the prior week for each Tar Heel in the NBA and preview the week ahead. This week, we are looking back at games from December 20-26 and looking ahead to games from December 27 - January 2.

There are currently 13 Tar Heels on NBA rosters, 11 on full-time contracts and two (Justin Jackson & Theo Pinson) currently on 10-day hardship contracts while teams are working to find replacements for players in COVID-19 health and safety protocols.

Players in Health & Safety Protocols

There are enough players currently in health and safety protocols for COVID that the group warrants its own section. The list includes the player and the date they entered the protocol.

Day'Ron Sharpe - December 18
Reggie Bullock - December 19
Ed Davis - December 21
Danny Green - December 22
Justin Jackson - December 24
Tony Bradley - December 26

Only four of the 13 Tar Heels active in the NBA didn't have their weeks interrupted by either a postponement or by being placed in health and safety protocols - Harrison Barnes, Wayne Ellington, Cameron Johnson, and Theo Pinson.

Six games involving Tar Heels were postponed last week with likely more to come as COVID-19 numbers continue to rise around the country.

Coby White had the single-highest scoring game of the week, dropping 24 on the Rockets on December 20.

Harrison Barnes and Cameron Johnson had rather consistent weeks, playing three games and scoring double-figures in each one.

Here’s a brief look at each Tar Heel in the NBA, what he did in the previous week of games, and a preview of the week ahead.

Note: all times listed are Eastern and PM.
