On March 4, 2022, Beijing time, Durant ushered in his first game after his comeback, and for the Nets, there was a very unwelcome news, that is, the team's sharpshooter Joe Harris will undergo left ankle surgery and be reimbursed for the season!
According to Nets general manager Sean Max, Joe Harris will undergo left ankle surgery for the season. Shams later said that Joe Harris would be reimbursed for the left ankle surgery season!
This news is undoubtedly very bad for the Nets, Joe Harris has only played 14 games for the Nets this season, averaging 11.3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist per game, averaging 2.9 three-pointers per game, and shooting 46.6% from three-point range! Such a play has made him one of the Nets' most important outside firepower points, and now his season reimbursement is undoubtedly a shadow over the rest of the Nets' season!
Joe Harris has been out of injury since Last November, and everyone thought he might return in two or three months, but now he hasn't returned for nearly four months and has been reimbursed for the season. After the big deal, the Nets added Curry Jr. and Drummond Jr., as well as Simmons, who can return before the playoffs, and it seems that the team still has a chance to compete for the championship, but Joe Harris' season reimbursement will make their future schedule this season very difficult, especially in the playoffs!
For the Nets, without Joe Harris, the team's outside line can only rely on Mills and Curry Jr. for two three points, although these two also have stable shooting ability, but any team lacking a three-point shooting rate of more than 45% of the outside shooter, will be very affected. Hopefully, Joe Harris can recover as soon as possible and strive to be able to help the team move forward next season!
