NBA: The Sacramento Kings traded an athlete who can’t play at home

Justin Holiday is not vaccinated, he has no intention of being vaccinated, and the Kings will have no right to use him at their home games until restrictions are relaxed in Sacramento.

The news of the exchange of Domantas Samponis caused quite a stir on Tuesday evening (February 8). The Lithuanian has left Indianapolis, he will continue his career in Sacramento, but two other players will continue with him, Jeremy Lamp and Justin Holliday, who will not have the right to play in the Kings’ home games due to his election!

The 32-year-old (who turns 33 on April 5), who has averaged 10.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists per 29.6 minutes over the past five seasons, with 44.7% on two points and 37 .2% scored three points remains unvaccinated against Covid -19 and as he said a few days ago he has no intention of changing his mind.

Lakers player independently fixes dislocated finger during Dallas game

Los Angeles Lakers player Marcus Smart He described how he removed his finger during an intervention attempt and then reattached it:

“My finger popped out again, so I had to put it back in. I put it right back in. It was the same finger that had been operated on before, so it was a little scary, but it would still be fine.”

I sprained my operated finger and thought, “I don’t want to quit playing.” I quickly tried to set it up and if it hadn’t worked I would have left the site long ago. But I managed to get back into the game.

It’s part of basketball, it’s part of me. I’m a tough player, things happen and I want to help the team in any way possible, whether it’s with ten fingers or nine fingers,” Smart said.

While Los Angeles Lakers defeated Dallas Mavericks with a score of 116:110, Smart played 32 minutes and played with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks during this time.

Doncic on returning to Dallas: ‘This will always be a special place for me’

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic He shared his feelings about returning to Dallas, where he spent 7 years as a member of the Mavericks.

Cheers erupted in the arena during the Slovenian’s introduction, and fans chanted “MVP” when Doncic went for a free throw.

“I was very happy to come back here. I went home and looked at my cars. But, you know, it’s always emotional. I was very pleased that the fans applauded me when I was introduced.”

It will always be a special place for me. I’ve spent seven years here and a lot of things have happened, both good and bad. When I went to Madrid at the age of 13, I felt good every time I returned to Slovenia. That’s why it will always be a special place for me.

Fan support? It was really special. I didn’t know what to expect because I know how the city responds to such cold weather, but I’m really grateful to a lot of people for coming.

Doncic helped the Lakers win 116-110 with 33 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds in the match.
