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 January 31 - February 6 and looking ahead to games from February 7-13.

There are currently 13 Tar Heels on NBA rosters, 11 on full-time contracts, one on a two-way contract (Theo Pinson), and one on a 10-day contract (Justin Jackson).

Just two more weeks to go until the NBA All-Star Break. No Tar Heels made an All-Star Team, but Cole Anthony is on one of the Rising Stars rosters.

As mentioned above, Justin Jackson is back in the league on a 10-day contract. It is Jackson's third 10-day stint of the season and second go-round with the Phoenix Suns.
Big weeks scoring for Cole Anthony, Harrison Barnes, and Reggie Bullock. Bullock, in particular, had 20-plus points in all three of his games this week.
Coby White has missed the Bulls last two games with a right adductor strain.
Nassir Little is still expected to miss the remainder of the season with his left shoulder injury.
Wayne Ellington's playing time has dwindled for the Lakers. In fact, he had three DNP - Coach's Decisions this week.

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.
