Tar Heels in NBA: Harrison Barnes, Cole Anthony play well in victories but Anthony hates needles

Posted Mar 1, 2022
Harrison Barnes collected 23 points and five rebounds while going 10 of 11 from the free-throw line in Sacramento’s 131-110 win at Oklahoma City. For a guy who has dealt with a lot of needles considering the number of tattoos on his body, Cole Anthony wasn’t excited about taking a needle for a blood test. That led to a good bit of social media buzz. (Tar Heel Tribune)
