Tar Heels in NBA: Playing time disappears for Justin Jackson, Ed Davis

Posted Feb 22, 2021
On a day UNC alums didn’t put up big numbers, it was confounding to see the lack of playing time for Justin Jackson and Ed Davis. Jackson’s minutes had dropped off the previous two games to 10 minutes on Wednesday against Memphis and six minutes Friday at Milwaukee. He didn’t play in Oklahoma City’s 117–101 victory Sunday over Cleveland. (Tar Heel Tribune)
