On February 5, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and the Nets continued their road trip, this time challenging the Jazz. Before the game, the Nets suffered bad news, and the core of the team, James Harden, was in a situation again, because the left hamstring was tight and would miss the game, which also meant that Irving would lead the team alone.
The Nets officially announced that Harden will miss today's Nets game against the Jazz due to a tight left hamstring.
Harden's recent situation has been very bad, not only physical condition, but also the performance on the court has also been sluggish. First, he missed 2 games with a sprain on his right hand, then he experienced hamstring tension and his physical condition was much worse than before. In the last game against the Kings, Harden scored only 4 points in the whole game, which set a new career low (at least 30 minutes). Due to the state of health and condition, whether Harden's future is still in Brooklyn has become somewhat uncertain.
Harden is absent, Durant can not play, harris side of the situation is not very optimistic, and even the possibility of season reimbursement. This season's Nets have also been in constant trouble, first Irving's refusal to vaccinate, and still a part-time player, unable to play in home games, and then suffering from injuries. Harris was also upset about his injury, saying: "I don't know when I'll be able to play again. Hopefully my ankle will improve in the coming weeks without the need for further surgery. But I just don't know the specific information. ”
With Harden missing the game again, Irving once again single-handedly led the team, depending on whether he could lead the team out of the predicament this time. Today's Nets have suffered six consecutive losses, from the first position in the East to the sixth place in the East, and the Raptors behind them are only 1.5 wins. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Nets are no longer the favorite to win the championship, and whether the big three can continue to cooperate has become unknown.
