On February 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season resumed, and the Warriors will challenge the Blazers away. Before the game, the Warriors also updated the injury report, of which 1 person is most likely to play, 3 people are absent, and the strength is also somewhat damaged, fortunately, the Splash Brothers can all play and will lead the team to impact the victory.
The most likely player is Payton Jr., who was put in the injury report due to the sore left calf, but he should not be absent. In yesterday's interview, head coach Kerr revealed that as long as Payton Jr. plays, he will be the team's starter. Kerr also praised him, "Payton Jr. can improve the team's comprehensiveness on the defensive end, for now, it is important to give him more playing time." "Payton Jr. has definitely been a surprise for the Warriors this season, making 56 appearances, averaging 16.6 minutes per game, 6.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 steals.
Petu Jr. has a high probability of playing, but the Warriors dream Green, Wiseman and Iguodala continue to be absent, and when the 3 return, the Warriors can also sprint at full strength.
Wiseman's side already has good news that he will return in early March, which is also his return after more than 11 months of absence, and the team's expectations for him are also quite high. In Portland's training, he was also involved, playing a 12-minute intra-team confrontation training game, in which there was a clip in which Curry chased the three-pointer and Wiseman followed up with a direct deduction, which also showed that he was in good shape. According to Warriors reporter Dieter, the source revealed that Wiseman will return on March 2, Beijing time.
The three tough players are absent, the Warriors can only rely on the Splash Brothers this time, in fact, the recent State of the Warriors is not good, only 1 win in 5 games, and now they have suffered 2 consecutive defeats, and they urgently need a victory to change the momentum. The Warriors are currently in second place in the West, 6.5 wins behind the Suns in front of them and 1.5 wins ahead of the Grizzlies, and if they are not careful, they may fall to the third position.
