On March 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to unfold, and in the past night, there was also a number of news, including 4 major stars with new developments, including Lillard and Zion injury updates, the two seasons have basically been reimbursed; Lakers Davis has made new progress and can run more; Philadelphia has a rotation, and the double-core Embiid and Harden are all absent.
Lillard season reimbursement
According to Shams, Lillard is expected to be reimbursed in advance this season. He underwent abdominal tendon repair surgery in January and is now making good progress in his recovery and looks strong in training. It's just that the team believes that not letting him play in the remaining 12 games of the season will benefit his recovery process. With the Trail Blazers currently 26-44, 12th in the West, Lillard's comeback is indeed of little significance.
Zion was also reimbursed for the season
Zion is still recovering and has made some progress, has started some shooting training and his feet can already bear the weight. But with only 11 regular season games remaining, it's still a bit unrealistic for Zion to return to confrontational training. The Pelicans are currently in ninth place in the West and are likely to be in the playoffs, but it's a bit difficult to go further. Zion was also less than at ease with his injuries and teamed up with Ingram and McCollum next season.
New developments in Davis, Lakers
The Lakers challenged the Cavaliers on the road today, and in the pre-game training, a familiar figure appeared - Anthony Davis. According to Lakers reporter Kyle Goon, in today's pre-game warm-up, Davis had more running than his previous warm-up in Washington, and also had a two-person training with assistant coach John Lucas, and his movement speed has improved significantly. Davis suffered a mid-foot sprain in February and has been absent since then.
Embiid Harden was absent
The 76ers played back-to-back against the Heat, and the 76ers made a rotation arrangement for this game, in which Embiid and Harden were both absent. The official report from the 76ers is that Embiid is absent from back pain and Harden is absent due to a left hamstring injury, which is actually the arrangement of rotation. After all, this is the second game back-to-back, the last game was very sticky, and this time the plan was made to take a break. Before the game, head coach Rivers said that in the face of record and health, he will definitely choose health.
The 76ers have a record of 43 wins and 27 losses, ranking third in the East, but the advantage is not big, and if they lose today, they will fall to fourth in the East, and the Celtics will rise to third.
