Tar Heels in NBA: Big games for Day'Ron Sharpe, Cam Johnson; Coby White scores 19

Posted Dec 27, 2023
No team in the NBA wants to help the Detroit Pistons end their long losing streak. Cameron Johnson scored 24 points, and Day'Ron Sharpe notched his fifth double-double and a career-high four blocks to ensure Tuesday that it wouldn’t be the Brooklyn Nets. Coby White has hit a shooting slump but still scored 19 points in Chicago's win over Atlanta. (Tar Heel Tribune)
