On January 16, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, the Warriors and Lakers officially updated the injury report, the two popular teams all suffered bad news, Curry missed the next game due to injury, and Lakers Anthony was also absent due to injury, which is a bad news for both teams.
In the Warriors' victory over the Bulls, Curry injured his right hand when he landed on the ground in one turn, and his expression was very painful. Earlier today, the Warriors officially announced that Curry will miss the next team's game against the Timberwolves due to sore right hand. Seeing this situation, fans are also a little worried, after all, Curry has suffered a fracture of the palm bone in his left hand before, and after the game, Curry himself revealed, "As long as my two hands land, I will be worried." It hurt a lot, but I'll be fine. He then said he had ruled out serious injuries.
The right hand is also a new injury, and I hope Curry is not in serious trouble. Curry started the season wildly, but after Christmas, his feel seemed to have been lost, and now he has shot less than 50% in nine consecutive games, the longest record of his career, after a maximum of eight consecutive games. Due to a recent period of sluggish performance, he has fallen out of the top three in the MVP list, and his average of points per game has also dropped to 26.3 points per game, ranking 6th in the league. Curry's performance will also determine the warriors' victory or defeat, the warriors have lost 4 of their 6 games recently, the league's first place has also been taken away by the Suns, and the gap has also been widened, trailing 1.5 wins.
On the Lakers side, Anthony, who still has sore backs, will miss today's away game against the Nuggets, and also makes him miss out against his old club. Anthony joined the Lakers offseason, played the role of the sixth man here, played very well, and had many savior performances. The last two games were also Anthony's first absences this season, having previously maintained full attendance and averaging 13.2 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists per game, the highest score outside the Big Three. Now that he is absent, other players need to step up to fill his gap.
The Lakers have recently been in trouble, mainly the problem of Wei Shao, into 2022, his sense of his hands will disappear, 15 out of 0 outside the three-point line, but also scored in double figures in 3 consecutive games, shooting less than 40% in 4 consecutive games. If the team can always win, then his problem will not be magnified, but now the Lakers have suffered two consecutive losses, and the winning rate has once again come to 50%, which has also made him the focus again. It depends on whether this time Westbrook can complete the proof to help James, only if he plays out, the Lakers will have a greater chance of winning.
