Curry is injured, and the last traffic giant seems to have been stretched out.
This season, the league has three major flow teams. At the beginning of the season, the Nets, Lakers and Warriors, whether it is the overall lineup strength, or the color and topicality of superstars, are the top of the league. However, as the schedule draws to a close, everything has suddenly changed, and the three major traffic giants seem to be all in trouble.
The Nets first had a farce of Irving's part-time job, and after Durant was injured during the season, Harden directly broke up with the Nets, and eventually parted ways and went to Philadelphia. Despite the recent individual performances of Durant and Irving, Irving is still unable to play in the home games of the playoffs, which is a situation that is greatly detrimental to the Nets' championship journey.
What's even more poignant is that the Nets may not even say that the playoffs are stable now. After all, they still need to pass the test of the play-offs. From the highly anticipated Big Three to the suspenseful Brooklyn, the Nets have been in somewhat lonely form this season. But even so, they still have a glimmer of life and look a little better than the Lakers.
Among the three major traffic teams, the Lakers may be the saddest one. James was questioned as a scoring maniac, Wei Shao was ridiculed as "Iron Wei", thick eyebrows were injured and vulnerable, Vogel was deeply involved in the storm of departure, and was shouted by media fans every day to get him out of class. The Lakers' record has fallen again and again, and they have lost the last bottoms. If it weren't for the Blazers and Spurs almost falling apart, they wouldn't even be able to keep a play-off spot.
Now, the Warriors are also in crisis. In the home game against the Celtics, Smart threw Curry to the ground, eventually causing Curry to sprain his left foot ligament and will be suspended indefinitely. According to orthopedic sports medicine experts, in most cases, the recovery time for foot ligament injuries is about 4 weeks. Subsequently, according to the relevant reporters, in the case of optimistic estimates, Curry can return to the field before the playoffs.
However, experts also said that the recuperation time of injuries will change according to each person's physical condition and the degree of injury. Judging from Curry's situation, it can be healed in as little as two or three weeks, and it takes about 6 weeks to recover. The playoffs will begin on April 17, and if Curry needs six weeks to recover, he may miss the first round.
The Nets and Lakers are teams that are going to play play-offs, and the Warriors are struggling to get the top record rankings in the West, and the core of the home is close to the regular season reimbursement. It's a terrible ending for a league that desperately needs topicality and exposure. If the Nets, Lakers and Warriors can't hold out in the first round, who else in the league will support the box office? Heat, Bucks, or Grizzlies, Suns? After all, it is a lack of influence...
