On February 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and some teams have been plagued by injuries, including two popular teams Lakers and Nets. No, today their two teams suffered bad news at the same time, the Lakers' injured Davis injury is not optimistic, the re-evaluation time will be postponed by 1-2 weeks; the Nets side of the new signing Simmons is injured, the back is a little sore, the comeback will continue to postpone.
Davis had previously suffered a midfoot sprain, and the report given at the time was reassessed four weeks later, that is, he could return to the field at the end of the regular season. But today, Davis's injury situation is not very optimistic, and the reassessment time will be delayed by 1-2 weeks, and it will take another 4-5 weeks. You know, this is just a re-evaluation, not a return, and after the assessment is passed, it will take a while to find the state. As things stand now, it's still unknown if they can catch up with the end of the regular season.
This news is undoubtedly another blow to the Lakers today, the team's situation is a bit bad, James and management rumors continue, and the team can not win the game. With the Lakers currently 27-32, ranked 9th in the West, 2.5 wins behind the 8th-place Clippers and seven wins from the 6th Nuggets, it's becoming increasingly difficult to escape the play-offs.
If Davis can't come back in time, then the Lakers want to complete the counterattack is really not good, even in the playoff area, they do not have a 100% chance of winning the game.
On the Nets side, new signing Simmons suffered back pain while returning to play, and he needed to strengthen the muscles in the area for a while before he could continue his recovery process.
Originally, the Nets were looking forward to Simmons returning to the court as soon as possible, after all, Irving had missed many games before, but he could return to the court soon. From this point of view, Simmons did not train well during his absence, otherwise he would not have been absent for so long.
Later, Woj also revealed Simmons' situation, revealing that he will not return this week, and whether he can catch up with the Nets and the 76ers is still unknown. Coach Nash was not too worried about Simmons' situation, saying he just had a little back pain and thought it wasn't an injury, just something that would happen during his recovery.
Now the Nets, like the Lakers, are also in the playoff area, but Durant is coming back soon, which is expected to stop the recent downturn.
