Five players that have stepped up in the NBA’s restart

It’s nearly been a week since the NBA’s restart officially began. Last Thursday, basketball fans were blessed with the start of what ended up being a jam-packed weekend of NBA action after four and a half months removed from when the league suspended play in March.

As 22 teams were invited to the Orlando bubble, the next two weeks (eight games for each team, and possibly a play-in playoff tournament for some) will tell what the seedings will be for the NBA playoffs and which 16 teams will get to compete for the 2020 NBA Championship.

As certain teams deal with injuries and players sitting out the restart, a few big performances from role players jumped out to me during the action this weekend. Here are five players who stepped up big time for their respective teams during the first weekend of the restart.
