5 NBA Players Given Chances to Shine Due to an Injury

The Philadelphia 76ers seemed to be on their way to becoming an Eastern Conference powerhouse when they traded for Andrew Bynum. Bynum was supposed to be the interior presence on both ends of the floor that would allow them to challenge the likes of the Heat, Celtics and Bulls for East supremacy.

But alas, Bynum's old archnemesis?the knee injury?reared its ugly head, and as a result, he has played a total of zero games and zero minutes.

While Sixers fans and the rest of the NBA became fixated on Bynum's questionable footwear in public places and even more questionable hair selections, fourth-year point guard Jrue Holiday has put the team on his back and became an All-Star while doing it.

Holiday was seen as a "complementary" piece to Bynum but with this stellar season he's having, it's evident that he is much more than that. When/if Bynum does return to the court, Philly now has an inside-outside one-two punch that will cause all sorts of nightmares for opposing defenses.

Although the Sixers are sitting well below .500, there is reason for optimism for the future of this team, and Holiday is a huge reason for that.
