Ukrainian Oleksiy Len never appeared on the court again in the NBA game. Ukrainian center Sacramento, who just returned to the team after a cold, spent the entire game against Charlotte on the bench. The “Kings”, in turn, could not cope with the opponent and lost 119:125.
We also note two defeats. The unstable Los Angeles Lakers lost to Phoenix 130:104, and Utah to Cleveland 122:99.
