The Lakers will play against Philadelphia on the 24th, and the pre-game news confirmed that James was absent, his knee was still swollen, and for safety, he chose not to play. In fact, the Lakers have been on an away trip recently, and successive flights and games have given James a new reaction to his knees, so it is also reasonable for him to choose a rotation. In the case of James' rotation, Wei Shao will have to lead the team to face Philadelphia alone, facing Embiid and Harden, whether Wei Shao can lead the team to have a good play is also worth paying attention to. In the previous 3 games, Wei Shao has played 20+ consecutive games, and this time is expected to continue this momentum.
The Nets received good news that Irving could finally return to the home game. News from the US media shows that New York will relax the vaccine policy, Irving can qualify to return to the home game, this time is expected to be next Monday and the Hornets game, this news is also a good birthday gift for Irving. If Irving can play at home, his combination with Durant will be more threatening, and with The help of Cescuri and Drummond, the Nets' lineup is still worth looking forward to. However, when Simmons will return is still unknown.
In terms of the Nuggets, they and coach Malone reached a new contract extension, and the two sides renewed their contracts for three years, which is also an affirmation of Malone. Malone has a good record in coaching the Nuggets, entering the playoffs in recent years, and also playing in the Western Conference Finals, and Malone led the team to reverse twice in the case of 1-3 behind, which is also the only one. The Nuggets made it to the playoffs this season with an uneven roster, and they waited for Murray's return, and by the time of the playoffs, there could be better play and a potential dark horse in the West.
