On March 4, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. Today, there are many player-related news, including the Nets' season reimbursement for the marksman, the 76ers signing the Lakers veteran, and the NBA official announcement of the best player of the month. Here's a detailed report.
Nets top scorer season reimbursement
Nets general manager Max announced through the news media that team top scorer Joe Harris will undergo a second left ankle surgery, which means he will be reimbursed for the season.
Harris played in just 14 games for the Nets this season, averaging 11.3 points per game and shooting 46.6 percent from three-point range. Harris underwent his first surgery last November and suffered repeated injuries. Harris has been considering whether he can play the remaining games for the team without secondary surgery. I believe he had to make this decision after many attempts. The Nets are currently in 8th place in the East with 32 wins and 31 losses.
Simmons is expected to make a comeback at the end of March
Nets general manager Max said that the team's new signing Simmons still needs 10 days of recovery and treatment to play for the team due to back injury problems, which means that he will miss the Nets' game with the 76ers on the 11th of this month and have no chance to face his old club.
Us media OutletPoints has followed the report that Simmons is expected to start high-intensity training with the team on March 12. Under Durant's previous recovery plan, he needed to pass at least three high-intensity fitness tests. The most optimistic scenario is that Simmons will return on March 22, when he will still play 11 regular season games for the team.
The 76ers signed the Lakers veteran
According to the news of the famous Woj, the center Jordan Jr., who was previously cut by the Lakers, will join the 76ers after the clarification period, and the two sides will sign until the end of the season. To make room for Jordan Jr., the 76ers will cut Cauley-Stein, who was signed on a short contract the team had signed 10 days earlier. The 76ers have officially announced the signing of Jordan Jr.
Jordan Jr. has played in three games for the Lakers this season, starting 19 of them and averaging 4.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game. This will be his and Harden's second cooperation after the Nets. Interestingly, the three rebounding kings signed by the 76ers in the past, Howard, Drummond and Jordan Jr., are all lakers veterans.
Beal is expected to sign a super-salary contract
According to woj' news, Wizards star Bradley Beal is expected to jump out of the contract at the end of the season, and then reach a five-year, 246 million extension with the team. Once the renewal is complete, Beal will be the player with the highest total salary in the league for a single signing.
Beal has played in 40 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, and is currently missing the game due to a wrist injury, and the return date is uncertain. In an interview, Bill said he was willing to stay with the Wizards. Since he has been in the league for more than 10 years and has been playing for the Wizards for more than 3 years, he meets the dual requirements of the super salary and the Bird clause, which is why he can sign a long-term super contract.
