The NBA's new regular season has not yet begun, and the Pacers, as a team, have been plagued by injuries. Yesterday's preseason game against the Cavaliers was over, and today came a bad news. Justin Holliday sprained his left ankle during the game and then withdrew from the game. Before leaving the court with an injury, Holliday played 12 minutes and had 3 points and 1 rebound. After the game, head coach Carlisle also mentioned Holliday's injury problem in an interview, which can be said to have caused fans to break out in a cold sweat: "Holliday will be absent for a while, and we don't want this time for too long, but so far, we don't have a clear timetable. ”
There is no clear comeback time, in other words, an indefinite truce, and I don't know when it will come back. Holliday was injured before the new season even started, and to make matters worse, Holliday was already the fourth injured player on the Pacers. It is said that Portland is the city of tears, and it seems that Indiana is also a cursed place for the players! TJ Warren, who has just been the boss of a few games, has been absent from the stress fracture of his left foot until now, and instead of recovering for three months as expected, he is now listed as an indefinite absence! Previously, Carlisle confirmed the news on the media day, Warren on the media day, the left foot is still wearing protective boots, how serious, everyone knows.
At the time, it was reported that Warren would be reviewed in three weeks, but the preseason had been played for so long that no news came out and it was not known what the situation was. Warren has not yet recovered on the front foot, and the youngster In the back, Sanam, suffered a torn Achilles tendon in training! The Achilles tendon tear was heavier than Warren's, and most people at that time heard the news and their hearts trembled. Sumner is 25 years old, has just played some performances, looks like he is in his formative years, and now he has suffered such a serious injury. The Pacers didn't have any hope for the youngster either, sending him and a second-round pick to the Nets the day before yesterday, and the Nets cut him shortly after. Unsurprisingly, Sumner is leaving the NBA.
After Sumner, the Pacers' future team core LeVert, when he was first sent to the team, was diagnosed with a kidney tumor, which was cured in time. Now, LeVert has suffered another back stress fracture, although the name is the same as Warren's, but the Pacers officially said that LeVert's injury is different from Warren, he is a relatively small fracture, and the initial estimate is to return at the beginning of the new season. Although there have been recent rumors about The LeVert deal, the main body is LeVert + Brogdon for Simmons, but the 76ers, can not see such an offer. If you don't look at it, you can't look at it, Simmons keep it for himself, know that LeVert and Brogdon, both of them are averaging 20+ points per game.
Finally, there is the latest Holliday injury, with a total of 4 players, except for Samner, all of whom are mainly rotated. The West has the Warriors' Chase Center and Torn City, but the Pacers in the East, apparently more miserable, say a cursed, toxic team. It's not a problem of the team boss getting injured anymore, it's that the team rotation can be injured for no reason. Even if there is an injury, the problem is that as long as there is an injury, it is an indefinite suspension, and no team can stand it! The NBA's big roster is 15+2, minus 4 rotations, leaving 13. The team can also see the likes of Sabonis Jr. and Brogden Jr. Although he got Carlisle, there was nothing he could do with frequent injuries!
No, the Pacers learned from carlisle's last team, the Lone Ranger, change the name!
