“This is the reality of this association right now,” said Miami’s coach Erik Spoelstra.

Toronto played eight players in Cleveland on Sunday: four with regular contracts, four with hardship contracts. The Raptors have 10 players who couldn’t play due to virus related reasons and have not played for more than a week.

But the schedule said they would play on Sunday so they showed up to play on Sunday.

“We haven’t done anything since our last game,” said Raptors coach Nick Nurse about 90 minutes before kick-off.

In Chicago, where the Bulls have just had 10 players through the logs and are now without coach Billy Donovan as he navigates them, it was suggested that Lonzo Ball was the only player to appear in every game of the team this season.

That streak is coming to an end: Ball is one of three players on the latest list of cops on the logs.

“You bewitched me,” Ball tweeted.

Memphis saw its log list grow to five on Sunday. San Antonio – one of the few teams that didn’t yet have a player on their logs – got their lucky streak on this front end when Dejounte Murray was added to the list and Atlanta added John Collins to their already jammed list.
