In yesterday's Nets- vs. Pelicans game, Basketball star Durant was supposed to retire early for a knee injury in the second quarter of the game and didn't return until the end of the game. Today, Durant underwent an MRI examination, and the Nets also officially claimed that Durant's medial collateral ligament in his left knee was strained, but Nets insiders were optimistic that Durant only needed 4-6 weeks of rehabilitation to come back.
Durant's injury was a blow to the Nets. Durant averaged 36.5 minutes per game this season, averaging 29.3 points, 7.4 boards and 5.8 assists, and his strong performance enabled the Nets to finish second in the East. Now that he has to miss the next game due to injury, Nets fans are also very unoptimistic about the team's next schedule.
According to NBA celebrities, Durant is expected to make a comeback around the All-Star Game, during which the Nets will play a total of 14 games. The good news is that 11 of these games are away games, which means that Irving will be able to partner Harden in the game.
According to statistics, last season's Nets Durant was absent, Irving and Harden were present, the Nets' record was 16 wins and 3 losses, which can be said to be a very high win rate. Many Nets fans can also breathe a sigh of relief after seeing such data, hoping that in durant's absent game, Harden and Irving can help the team maintain a good situation.
A-Smith, a well-known Commentator in the United States, believes that Durant's injury will undoubtedly arouse the morale of the entire Nets, and there is no need to worry about it. He said: "The Nets' performance this season has relied too much on Durant's performance, and now his injury is not necessarily a bad thing for the team, because there is harden and Irving on the team, and no team dares to ignore their existence, unlike Durant's regular singles with the ball, both of whom have excellent ball control skills and organizational skills, they will make the Entire Team of the Nets reborn." ”
It can be seen that Smith still maintains great confidence in the future of the Nets. Judging from the Nets' next schedule, in 11 away games, Irving can replace the team to play is simply too timely for the Nets. I hope that the Nets can continue to maintain good form in the next game, and I also hope that Durant will recover soon.
