On March 13, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, in the first quarter of the game the two sides played 28:28, in the last quarter of the first quarter, bucks veteran Ibaka was hit in the eye by the opponent when he competed with Cuminga for rebounds, bleeding from the corner of the eye on the spot, and then returned to the locker room for treatment!
The Bucks' official social media then announced that Ibaka's eye was torn and needed to receive stitches. After receiving the stitch treatment, Ibaka immediately returned to the competition!
In the first half, Ibaka played a very good game, he had 9 points and 3 rebounds in the first quarter, and he was able to shoot after returning in the second quarter! Playing in the halftime with 8 minutes and 40 seconds, shooting 2 of 5 and 2 of 3 from three-point range, he had 11 points and 4 rebounds, and was a very trusted high turf for the Bucks!
As a 32-year-old veteran, Ibaka's bloody fight in this game is indeed very touching to the fans. Even if the blood stains the field, the stitches can be immediately put into the game, which can also reflect Ibaka's professional attitude on the field!
Ahead of this season's trade deadline, the Bucks traded Ibaka to the right choice for now. As an experienced veteran, he was able to help Brooke Lopez in his absence due to injury, and he averaged 6.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game this season, which is already in very good shape. Such a player can only show his greatest value in the playoffs! With such a luxurious lineup of Bucks, we have reason to believe they can defend their title in this season's game and strive to create an era that belongs to them!
