📅 On this day in 1974, the Braves’ Ernie DiGregorio set an NBA rookie record – as well as a franchise record – by dishing out 25 assists in a 120-119 win over the Blazers.
Both records still stand, although the rookie mark was tied by the Sonics’ Nate McMillan in 1987. pic.twitter.com/CVn3sHMUse – 3:01 PM

Nate McMillan, on Trae Young leading the two-turnover effort:
“With all the pressure that he was seeing tonight, I thought he did a beautiful job of just managing the game and changing his tempo in the fourth quarter.” – 10:54 PM

Dane Moore: Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell will remain in COVID protocols and will not play Sunday’s game in Los Angeles, the team says. Jarred Vanderbilt, however, is out of COVID protocols and is questionable to play on Sunday as he ramps back up. -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / January 1, 2022
Andrew Greif: Brian Shaw said Luke Kennard’s protocols absence happened so recently today that he’s still figuring out how to start tonight in Brooklyn. Shaw also said he’s been in a lot of communication with Ty Lue and credited Lue with allowing him “full rein.” -via Twitter @AndrewGreif / January 1, 2022
Tim Reynolds: We’re back under 100 players known to be in the NBA protocols, after that number peaked around 125 earlier this week. Trending the right way. -via Twitter @ByTimReynolds / January 1, 2022
