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 Dec 6-12 and looking ahead to games from December 13-19.

  • The Suns got right back to their winning ways, going 2-0 this week. Cameron Johnson's minutes have increased while Devin Booker has been out injured. 
  • Nassir Little returned from his ankle injury and scored a season-high 18 points on Wednesday.
  • Cole Anthony tied his season high with 33 points in a loss to the Kings on Wednesday. 
  • Coby White was out again this week in COVID-19 protocols but is nearing a return.
  • Tar Heels are still at the top of each conference. Day'Ron Sharpe's Nets lead the East while Cameron Johnson and Suns sit atop the West. 

There are currently 11 Tar Heels on NBA rosters, all on full-time contracts.

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.

I grew up in Atlanta knowing that I was going to be the next Maddux or Glavine or Chipper. Unfortunately, I never grew six feet tall, ran 4.4 in the 40-yard dash, threw 90 m.p.h. on the radar gun, or hit 50 home runs. So I had to find a different way to dive head first into sports - writing about it. My favorite all-time sports moment? 1992. NLCS. Game 7. Sid Bream. Look it up. Worst sports moment ever? Two words: Kris. Jenkins. I live in the bustling metropolis of Webb City, MO, where ministry is my full-time job. I spend my free time with my wife, Maggie, and my two children, Pax & Poppy.
