NBA Stars Take Time to Give Back to the Community on Thanksgiving

On Thanksgiving, the league gave the players some much-needed time off.

There were no games on Thursday, giving NBA stars a chance to rest, spend time with their families, and even give back to the community. That is exactly what the ballers did as many individuals took time out of their day to spend Thanksgiving with the community.

The NBA Cares initiative is one of the wonderful things about the league and on Thanksgiving, the NBA continued to show it’s heart.
