NBA 2020 results: Bol Bol steals show on day one of the scrimmages

The NBA returned seriously today when eight teams participated in scrimmages – and it was a good time for everyone except Australian Aron Baynes.

It has been announced that the Phoenix Suns Center has tested positive for COVID-19 and is still waiting to join its teammate in Orlando.

Baynes, who has to return two negative tests before entering the bladder, said he was afraid of the effects on his family when he isolated at home in Phoenix.

“It was the scariest moment for me because I was putting my family in danger at that point,” he said. “They were faced with it later so they didn’t get it with me at the same time, but they were positive at a later time.

“The biggest positive result is that I was worst affected. They all had very minimal symptoms that actually lay on my butt for a whole week. I slept four days in a row. There was a point where I only saw two hours in a row four days after going to bed. “

But that was the only damper when basketball fans were excited about the return of the NBA.

BOL BOL STEALS SHOW HOW NUGGETS GO BIG

Jamal Murray, Gary Harris, Will Barton and Torrey Craig were unable to play Denver against Washington, so the Nuggets revealed one of the top five-starters in NBA history.

Nikola Jokic – every 213 cm from him – started at Point Guard in a back yard where striker Jerami Grant also appeared.

But it was the look of the 218 cm rookies Bol Bol that was most exciting for Denver fans.

The son of former fan favorite Manute Bol didn’t play a minute in the NBA after missing the time due to injury and playing in the G-League.

But the defensive length, long-range shooting ability, and decent grip of a player his size showed a 16-point double with 10 rebounds.

It was enough to believe that he could get a few minutes when it counts next month when the Nuggets knocked out the No-Name Wizards 89-82.

Without Star Guard Bradley Beal, the Orlando wizards are expected to be a road kill, and it looked like only rookie Rui Hachimura (18 points) really hit his porters.

The Lakers would not have enjoyed a 22-point excursion for the Troy Daniels nuggets, which they released earlier in the season after being forced out of their rotation. After losing Avery Bradley (not played for personal reasons) and Rondo (broken thumb), they may have room for him.

NOAH STARTS WHEN CLIPPER COMPETITIONS

Many teams need to add new faces before the official games begin on July 31, including the new Clippers Center Joakim Noah.

The experienced Big Man started for the championship candidate with a 99:90 victory over magic, scored four points and grabbed five boards in 15 minutes.

LA didn’t play any of their starters for more than 20 minutes when stars Paul George (18 points) and Kawhi Leonard (nine) paved the way back. Lou Williams led all goal scorers off the bench with 22 points.

Markelle Fultz and Jonathan Isaac were the only Orlando players who didn’t show up when 14 Magic players entered the field. Nikola Vucevic had 18 points and 10 boards to lead his team.

NO-NAME NETS HAVE NO HOPE

If you think Washington is underwhelmed, check out Brooklyn.

Even without the injured star duo Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, the networks came to Orlando and missed Spencer Dinwiddie, DeAndre Jordan, Wilson Chandler and Taurean Prince – all of whom decided to stay at home.

The argument in the team to be in the bladder only gets stronger after a 99-68 hit against the pelicans without Zion Williamson.

New Orleans barely got out of first gear as they prepared to start the rest of the season without Williamson, who had to leave Orlando to deal with a family emergency and whose return is unknown.

E’Twaun Moore and Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the Pels with 14 points. The nets had four players in the double digits – Dzanan Musa (11), Rodions Kurucs (10), Caris LeVert (10) and Jarrett Allen (10) – but the newest addition Jamal Crawford didn’t fit.

COUGHING FIT MARS HEAT CENTURY

Miami Heat is the first team to cross 100 points in the Disneyland bubble and trump the Sacramento King 104-98 in its first scrimmage match.

Duncan Robinson has proven why he is one of the most reliable shooters in the league. He scored 18 points at team level, including five three points from eight attempts. Teammate Tyler Herro also contributed 15 points to the six-point victory.

NBA analyst Shane Young tweeted, “I feel Duncan Robinson’s efficiency and spot-up numbers at Disney will be even higher than during the season. A little bit scary. “

In the meantime, Kings Guard Buddy Hield hit a match high of 19 points and five rebounds.

However, some viewers panicked after one of the commentators heard coughing throughout the program.
