Ho!Ho!Ho! The Hawks vs Knicks alive stream is here, but it's not the present brawl fans were hoping to unwrap. What was supposed to exist a large centerpiece in the NBA's large Christmas 24-hour interval schedule is now a lesser deal. We all remember how loud Madison Square Garden got during the NBA live streams during the playoffs when Trae Young was the most hated homo in the building, and so the league thought at that place was no better rivalry to revisit on Christmas Twenty-four hours (to drive ratings).

Alas, that dream in the league's mind may wind upward being just that, a dream. On December 19, less than a week before the big game, Trae Young tested positive for Covid-19, a big reminder that the Omicron variant is out there and spreading rapidly. Young needed dual negative tests separated by 24 hours to exit the NBA's health and safety protocols. Which he didn't get, causing him to miss the game.

It didn't seem like Young was getting those positive tests. On December. 19, he tweeted "Stay condom" with a few emojis, including one with a person wearing a face-mask. Then, on December. 21, Young quote-tweeted a question as to whether or not he'd miss the Christmas Twenty-four hour period game, with the message "Hope not #asymptomatic #prayfornegativetests" with a prayer emoji.

On Dec. 22, he posted an eye-rolling confront emoji. Nobody wants an NBA game preview to be comprised of reading tweets similar tea leaves, but since it's almost all near Trae, and yesterday (Dec. 24) saw Young unable to articulate things in fourth dimension? He tweeted "Bs for real.." and we don't recollect he's talking about letter of the alphabet grades.

But Young isn't the just thespian whose condition for this game was in question. On Th (Dec. 23), Knicks player RJ Barrett was cleared to be the NBA's health and safety protocols, the day before his teammate Obi Toppin was also cleared to rejoin the team. Immanuel Quickley cleared protocols yesterday.

The Knicks roster, though, is withal in shambles, with Quentin Grimes, Kevin Knox, Miles McBride and Nerlens Noel still out. Derrick Rose is also off the table, still recovering from ankle surgery.
