On March 21, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. According to the schedule, after beating the Blazers last Saturday, the Nets have a three-day break, and they will play at home to the Jazz tomorrow.
Earlier today, the Nets released their team's injury report, and in tomorrow's game against the Jazz, Aldridge (right hip injury), Duke (demoting G-League), Sharp (demoting G-League), Joe Harris (left ankle injury), Simmons (returning to playing form and back soreness), Irving (subject to New York epidemic regulations) will miss the game.
It has been revealed that veteran Aldridge will continue to miss a week due to a hip injury, and he has missed six games in a row.
Simmons, whom the Nets got through a trade, has not yet played. Boss Nash, who gave an update on Simmons, said: "Simmons underwent physical therapy today and there is no news at the moment when he will return. Simmons can't do any training at this stage and hopes he can come back this season. ”
However, Nets player Drummond said: "Simmons has always been with the team when he is not in treatment. He went through all the training, including all the shooting training. ”
Another Nets star, Irving, has been in hot form lately, scoring 60 points in a single game in the team's win over the Magic. However, according to new York City's epidemic prevention regulations, Irving has not been able to play in the Nets home game. According to the latest reports, New York City's existing epidemic prevention regulations will continue, which also means that if Irving is not vaccinated, he will not be able to play in the Nets home game. In response, some Nets fans also held signs and posters to the Barclays Center to protest to express their dissatisfaction.
The Nets currently have a record of 37 wins and 34 losses, ranking 8th in the East, four wins behind the Cavaliers, who are 6th in the East, and there is little hope of qualifying for the playoffs, and they will fight for a playoff spot.
