On December 25, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season entered the rest day before the year-end war. According to the schedule, the Nets will play the Lakers on the road tomorrow, which is also the highlight of this year's year-end battle. Previously, due to the triggering of health and safety protocols by multiple people on the team, the Nets have been postponed for three consecutive games.
Earlier today, the Nets officially announced a no-no-no list for tomorrow's game, with 8 people, including Durant, unable to play in tomorrow's game.
They are: Durant, Ade, Duke, Edwards, Irving, Sharp, Thomas, these 7 people are triggering the health and safety agreement, in addition to Harris is absent due to an ankle injury.
As a result, fans will once again miss the Durant vs James scene. You know, the last time the two played in the game was back to the year-end battle in 2018, exactly 3 years after today. In an interview just yesterday, James praised Durant, saying he was great to recover from a ruptured Achilles tendon. James currently averages 26.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block per game, and Durant is averaging 29.7 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game this season.
Nash revealed more details in the interview, saying: "Harden and Griffin will both play the Christmas battle against the Lakers. Clarkston has been able to play and Bemburi has lifted the health safety agreement, but the rest of the team's players who triggered the health and safety agreement have not yet been passed. However, after Nash's interview, according to the Nets reporter, Bruce Brown and James Johnson have lifted their health and safety agreements and can play tomorrow's game with the Lakers.
That way, Harden will be the only Nets Big Three player who can play tomorrow. So far this season, Harley has averaged 20.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.4 steals. According to teammate Mills, in order to prepare for the year-end war, Harden also deliberately re-braided his hair.
The Nets' 13-man roster for tomorrow is as follows: Harden, Mills, Bembry, Griffin, Clarkston, Millsap, Javin Carter, Brown Jr., James Johnson, Galloway, Harrison, Ennis, Gabriel.
