The latest news, Durant has been diagnosed with a sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his left knee and is expected to take 4-6 weeks to recover, which is bad news for the Nets. Durant was hit on the knee by teammate Brown in the last game, and then withdrew from the court for further examination due to injury, which is really a disaster. It is certain that hardened the next pressure mountain, according to the data, since Harden joined the Nets, a total of 113 games have been played, and the big three have only played 16 games at the same time, accounting for only 14%, which is no different from when they were in the Rockets. What is more worrying is that 11 of the next 14 games are away, but also against the Lakers, Warriors and other strong teams, the Nets are likely to not be able to save the top three in the East. It is worth mentioning that Durant will also miss the All-Star Game due to injury, and he is expected to return in the first week after the All-Star Game, so he missed the match with James again.
In addition to Durant, Green is also plagued by injuries, and the latest test results show that he not only has sore calves, but also problems with lumbar discs, so he needs to rest for at least 2 weeks. As we all know, Green is the Warriors' defensive gate or the starting point of the offense, and his absence has a huge impact on the Warriors. He averaged 8 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game this season, and is a favourite for the season's best defensive player. Kerr also said that during Green's absence, Cuminga will get more playing time. The lads don't have to be sent to the development league to exercise. In addition, Curry also returned home to treat the injury of the right hand and lost two players in a row, which is extremely bad news for the Warriors. More importantly, it will take time for Thompson to adapt after his return. If nothing else, the Warriors will fall out of the top three in the West, which is a pair of difficult brothers and sisters with the Eastern Nets.
The last piece of news was about James, who didn't give any interviews after the Lakers' 37-point loss to the Nuggets, and it's clear he's been so disappointed with the game that he has nothing more to say. Many professional media people are not optimistic about the Lakers, some people say that this is the worst game played by the team with superstars, and some people bluntly say that the Lakers cannot enter the playoffs. Ms. Didn't give an interview though. But he still has to give the Lakers fans a satisfactory explanation. After the game, he took the initiative to apologize to the fans and promised that the Lakers would get better. Even for the current Lakers, it is not a particularly bad thing to find the problem as soon as possible, after all, the season is only halfway through, and there is still time to solve the problem, but this will test the attitude of the Lakers' top management, if you still push the loss to the injury, the Lakers will really miss the championship this season. In addition, Howard's performance in the game is remarkable, scoring 13 points on 6-of-8 shooting, are the Lakers really determined to give up on him?
