On February 24, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will reignite tomorrow, and the Nets will face the Celtics at home. Before the game, the Nets officially updated the team's injury report, of which the top 5 main players will miss the game, and in today's training, the new big three also all appeared.
In the Nets' latest injury report, Durant, Irving, Simmons, Harris and Dragic were all unable to play, which also reduced the team's strength by 2 levels.
Durant and Harris are both absent due to injury, Irving is not meeting New York's epidemic prevention regulations, and Simmons and Dragic are all pre-comeback state adjustments, and they need to wait to come back. And the US media also posted a P map of the Nets' new lineup, if you can play in full, the strength is really quite good.
In today's training, the new three giants Durant + Owen + Simmons are also all debuting, of which Durant and Simmons are only individual training, and have not yet participated in joint training. Coach Nash revealed that Durant looks closer to returning than Simmons, while Simmons is under Korver's sole coaching and may be able to improve his projection ability a bit.
Irving's side also has good news, the new mayor of New York revealed that he is expected to lift the new York epidemic prevention regulations in the next few weeks, which also means that he can play in the home game, no longer have to play as a part-time role.
In addition, Nets coach Nash also revealed harris's situation, his injury recovery and comeback schedule has not been updated. Harris underwent ankle arthroscopic surgery at the end of November last year, when the expected recovery period was 4-8 weeks. However, his repeated injuries have also led to delays in returning, and the Nets may evaluate whether he needs to undergo surgery again this week. If he undergoes surgery again, it could mean that he will be reimbursed in advance this season.
The only thing to be thankful for is that in Harden's trade, the Nets got Curry Jr., plus Mills, and the team's projection ability is still good.
In addition, new signing Dragic also appeared in the training hall today, and the Nets official also posted his training photos, writing: "The first day in the new place." ”
But he won't be playing tomorrow against the Celtics, and Nash revealed he needs some more training to recover and it won't take long. Dragic previously reached a buyout with the Spurs, and after becoming a free agent, he attracted the attention of many teams, and finally he chose to join the Nets under nash's recruitment. Speaking about this, he said: There are 6 teams to choose from, and the reason why the Nets were finally chosen was because the Nets had a good chance of winning the championship. During his time with the Nets, Dragic will wear the number 9 jersey, the first time in his career.
