On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues to unfold, and the Nets will sit at home to meet the Heat. Due to the lack of major generals, the Nets have suffered two consecutive losses, and the record has fallen to 32 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the East. In the pre-game update of the injury report, the Nets finally ushered in good news, and Durant officially returned.
Before the game, the Nets officially announced the team's injury list, there are still 3 players absent from the game, Irving still does not meet the New York epidemic prevention regulations, can not play in the home game; Simmons is recovering from the state, there is still a long way to return; Harris left ankle injury, injury has been unstable, there has been no news of any comeback so far.
New signing Drummond missed the last game because of the sore left knee, and whether he can play in this game will wait until the pre-match decision, and it is very promising to play.
As you can see, Durant is not on the injury list, he officially ushered in a comeback, which is also the first time since January 14 that he is not on the injury list. Commenting on his comeback, Durant said: "I feel full of energy, I know what I can do, I know how to help this team. ”
The Nets also miss Durant very much, and during this time the team has also undergone a huge change, falling from the first place in the East to the eighth, the championship favorite has become a play-off team, and Harden has been replaced by Simmons, Curry Jr. and Drummond. When Durant came on this season, the Nets had a record of 24 wins and 12 losses, and when he was absent, the record was only 8 wins and 19 losses.
From the record, we can see the importance of Durant to this team, and more importantly, now that he has come back, there is no Harden around him. Fortunately, in the next 6 games, the Nets have 4 away games, and Irving can play, that is, Durant and Irving can join forces again. That includes a three-game streak against the Celtics, Hornets and 76ers, all of which are not easy to deal with, depending on whether Durant and Irving can lead the team out of the predicament.
