On March 6, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and all teams were making the final sprint, but the first premise was to stay healthy. In the past night, the NBA has heard the dynamics of 4 big stars, of which Harden chose to take a rotation today, Zion's injury has finally made new progress, and the Clippers' Leonard and George injuries have also been updated.
Harden was absent from the rotation today against the Heat
The 76ers officially said Harden was absent from the game because of a recovery management of a hamstring injury as part of his hamstring recovery plan. In other words, Harden is on leave this time, and the team has no plans to let him play back-to-back games. After joining the 76ers, Harden is currently playing four games, averaging at least 25 points + 12 assists per game, leading the team to a record of all wins. But even so, the team is still very cautious about him, avoiding injuries.
New developments in Zion's injuries
Finally, there is a new development in Zion, who has begun to carry out full weight training, he will not follow the team to the away game for the time being, will stay in New Orleans to recover, and the home game will appear on the bench. Previously, it was reported that Zion had little contact with the team and that it was possible to undergo right foot surgery again, anyway, it was still some distance away from a comeback. Zion has not played for the team this season, and whether he will return is unknown.
George trains with shots
The Clippers have been doing very well this season, with results now achieved in the absence of George and Leonard, and in recent days they have received good news that both core injuries have a new process.
George's side has resumed shooting training, which is a good sign that he can get involved in the team training soon. George suffered a torn ligament in his right elbow in late December and has been absent since then, but he actually did very well in the beginning, averaging 24.9 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game.
Leonard took off his knee pads
Leonard hasn't played this season, but he's also recovering and has removed his knee pads in today's shooting practice. According to previous reports, Leonard's comeback schedule is during the playoffs, but it is not excluded that there is a possibility of early return.
Now that the Clippers have a record of 34 wins and 31 losses, ranking eighth in the West, 5.5 wins ahead of the Lakers behind them, the probability of staying in the playoffs is still very large. If Leonard and George return in the playoffs, the Clippers really can't be underestimated.
