Beijing time on February 24, tomorrow the second half of the NBA game will begin, all the teams with the strength to impact the playoffs will sprint in the final stage, but what people did not expect is the Blazers who won 4 consecutive wins before the All-Star, but today there was bad news, according to the NBA official report, the team center Yusuf Nurkic suffered from left sole fasciitis, at least missed four weeks of games, since September 21 Nurkic has been plagued by fasciitis.
This is not good news for the Blazers, who are now barely in tenth place in the West with a record of 25 wins and 34 losses, and although they are still two wins ahead of the 11th Spurs in the West, they are expected to be greatly reduced without Nurkic's strategy and protective frame. In addition to Nurkic, there is also a lot of news in the league, like Irving, Kemba Walker and the rookie list, what is happening, let's take a look.
The 31-year-old All-Star gave up playing for the team
According to ESPN, sources revealed that the Knicks and team guard Kemba Walker agreed that the latter would miss all the remaining fixtures of the season, after which Knicks president Lyon Rose also admitted that they and Walker had reached such an agreement, he said: "I am very supportive of Walker's absence of all the remaining schedules of the season, and use this time to consider the decision of next season, whether he can stay on the court for a long time is still our priority." ”
So far this season, Walker has averaged 11.6 points, 3 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, although the performance is completely without the level of the previous All-Star, but he is only 31 years old, he is still at his peak, but he did not get the ball right to lead to the decline in data, when the Thunder bought out himself to join the Knicks, as long as a 2-year 17.9 million contract extension, the result is now good, directly abandoned, it is estimated that the offseason will be traded. Walker was wise to give up playing for the team, after all, the team didn't want him anymore.
Owen or good news
A few days ago, Xiao Hua made a speech on New York's epidemic prevention regulations, he said that other away players can come to New York to play without vaccination, while their own players can not play without vaccination, such a rule is absurd, mayor Eric Adams also admitted this, and said that he will make corrections to this, and today according to TA reporter Shams, Eric Adams said that New York plans to gradually eliminate the mandatory requirements of vaccines in the next few weeks.
Then this is good news for Irving, because Irving has been refusing to be vaccinated, now it is spring, if New York really does this, then Irving's return is only a matter of time, if Harden still maintains their big three lineup at the Nets, it may be going to win the championship this year, but it is not bad to have Simmons, after all, Durant and Irving are the kind of players who can score regardless of space.
The rookie list was released, and Cunningham ranked fourth
Today the NBA officially released the latest issue of the rookie list, of which this list and the previous issue is almost no big change, first of all, the first is Mobley, with the blessing of the team's record, coupled with the ability to attack and defend, Mobley is indeed worthy of the first position. Then there was Barnes, the Raptors' No. 4 show, the lad was very well-rounded, the defensive and organizational skills were very prominent, the third was Josh Gidi, Gidy ranked third I think they were all low, first of all he broke the record of the youngest triple-double in a row, in recent days Gidy was praised by the old Jan, Presti really has a vision!
Canning is in the fourth position, Cunningham is still adapting to the league, he and Jaylen Green's talent is unquestionable, the two have proved their strength in the All-Star Rookie Game, and it still needs time to polish, and overall, the gold content of this year's rookies is still very high. The next 5-10 spots were: Wagner Jr., Ayodosim, Herbert Jones, Jaylen Sagas and Jaylen Green.
For Dosem may not be familiar to everyone, he is the Bulls in the second round of the eighth pick selected player, the lad is full of impact, this season averaged 8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 52.3%, three-point shooting rate of 40%, to cultivate, the future Ofsem is still worth looking forward to.
The last piece of news, according to the famous Shams report, there is no problem between the Lakers and James and their agent Rich Paul, who has been arguing for Rich Paul to pressure the Lakers to change Wall the other day, and said that James wants to return to the Cavaliers is a disguised pressure to the Lakers, he and Pelinka have collapsed and so on. This kind of thing is completely impossible, first of all, old Zhan still has a one-year contract, he will not bring himself a bad image problem, and secondly, he knows that Wall's level is not as good as Wei Shao, who will be stupid enough to take Wei Shao to exchange him?
