On December 25, Beijing time, the NBA had a short day off, and the year-end war was about to start, in which the Nets challenged the Lakers away. In the previous 3 games, the Nets were all postponed, this year-end war was officially played, the team has recently been a continuous return of players, and the game with the Lakers can have 13 players.
Recently, the Nets have suffered from a serious epidemic, the whole team once triggered a health and safety agreement of up to 10 people, and the game has been postponed for 3 consecutive games. In these 2 days, Harden, Millsap and Carter took the lead in lifting the ban, and this time head coach Nash revealed that Brown, Bembry and James Johnson were also released. This is still very helpful for the team, these three tough guys will be the main defensive players of the team, and their return will also improve the team's defense and can also carry out more rotations.
In addition to the lifting of the security agreement, the team's injured Clarkston and Griffin can also play, which also makes the team lineup a little more tidy. With their return, the Nets have enough personnel inside the line, and Griffin has successfully seized the opportunity before and is expected to re-enter the rotation. Previously, Griffin was directly DNP by Nash due to poor hand feelings, but as the team was trapped by the epidemic, he returned to the rotation again, and he also had an excellent performance, and he still had oil in his mailbox and could still contribute to the team.
Durant and Irving are out of the game, the two are still in quarantine, the Nets officially announced the news, in addition to them, Harris is absent due to injury, Aldridge, Thomas, Duke, Edwards and Sharp are still in the health and safety agreement, and they are not eligible for the year-end war.
Commenting on Irving's situation, Nash said: "Irving has not trained with the team, is still in a health and safety agreement, and he needs to resume training, and this time the away team will not see him. I don't know what the new health and safety protocol will be, or how it will affect us, and I can't answer whether the new agreement will allow other players to play. ”
The Nets' year-end battle against the Lakers, there are 13 players, will be led by Harden, to see if he can lead the team to victory, after all, the state of the lakers opposite the lakers has been very sluggish recently. The Nets' 13 players are Harden, Mills, Griffin, Bembry, Clarkston, Millsap, Jevon Carter, Brown Jr., James Johnson, Galloway, Harrison, Ennis, Gabriel, the last four of whom were signed by the team through difficult exceptions to make up for the shortage of manpower.
