Nba christmas day

Defending NBA Champions Boston Celtics: The NBA’s Christmas Day games have always been one of the most looked-forward-to days on the long schedule. However, the games, scheduled to be played on Thursday (IST), have been plagued as a number of stars expected to miss through injuries.

Phoenix Suns' guard Devin Booker will be missing out on the clash against the Denver Nuggets with a groin strain and has been ruled out for the third consecutive game. The Suns currently sit in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 14-14 even record.

One of the most awaited games on the calendar, Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors, has also been hit by injury scare, as LeBron James and Anthony Davis have both been listed as questionable for the game.
