Beijing time on April 2, today the Clippers will go to the road to challenge the Bucks, before the official start of the showdown, both sides have updated the team's injury situation, and then I will take you to understand the specific situation. Clipper Bucks injury report! 5 people on both sides are absent, the main force is absent collectively, and the alphabet brother George does not fight!
The Clippers and Bucks each have five players missing, so let's first look at the Clippers' injuries:
Paul George: Recovering from a right elbow injury, unable to play
Batum: Injured in his left ankle and unable to play
Marcus Morris: My left knee hurts and I can't play
Reggie Jackson: Reels, unable to play
Boston: Sick and unable to play
Much like the Clippers, most of the Bucks' main players were sidelined due to injury, as follows:
Brother Alphabet: My right knee is sore and I can't fight
Middleton: My left wrist hurt and I couldn't play
Holliday: Sprained left ankle and unable to play
Bemburi: Surgery on the right knee, unable to play
Grand Lopez: Restored to form, unable to play
When the Clippers and Bucks released injury reports, many fans issued a soul torture question, that is, the main players of both sides basically do not play, will this situation be fined by the NBA league?
However, from the details of the injury report, it can be seen that in addition to Reggie Jackson's rotation and the recovery of Lopez the Great, the remaining 8 players have suffered injuries, and the players should not be fined by the league due to injury absence.
Now that the NBA regular season is nearing the end of the game, there are not many games left for each team, and the Bucks and Clippers have let multiple players rest, which is also a good preparation for the upcoming playoffs. After all, the intensity of the playoffs is more intense, and only by ensuring the health of players can the team have the opportunity to go further in the playoffs.
The Bucks are currently in Second Place in the East, while the Clippers are tentatively ranked 8th in the West. Judging by the ranking of the two sides' records, the Bucks are obviously more relaxed, after all, the Bucks have locked up a playoff spot. In contrast to the Bucks, the Clippers need to compete for playoff spots through playoffs.
According to NBA play-off rules, teams ranked 7-10 in the division are required to play playoffs. At present, the Clippers are 3.5 wins ahead of the 9th Pelicans in the West, and it can be said that the Clippers' current ranking is relatively safe, and it is understandable to choose to let the main team rest when facing the Bucks in the East.
However, the collective absence of most of the main forces on both sides is indeed a relatively rare thing. Perhaps the starting point of both sides is for the sake of the health of the players, but in the absence of the main team, the two sides need to use the second team to carry out the duel, and the alphabet brother George does not play, which seems to reduce the excitement of the game a lot!
