The NBA announced its Players of the Month, with Nikola Jokic and Cade Cunningham earning the honors for their respective conferences. Cunningham guided the Detroit Pistons to an impressive 16-4 record in November, securing the Eastern Conference's best standing. Jokic, consistently delivering triple-doubles, led his team to a 14-5 record in the Western Conference.
In other news, the Washington Wizards are facing roster challenges as their leading scorer and rebounder, Alex Sarr, will miss his second consecutive game due to an adductor injury. Marvin Bagley III is expected to start in his place, aiming for another strong performance after scoring 22 points in their last win.
The Philadelphia 76ers will also be shorthanded, playing without star big man Joel Embiid. Veteran Andre Drummond will step into the starting lineup. This comes as guard Tyrese Maxey recently scored 44 points in a double-overtime loss.
