On April 20, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the participating teams are trying to prepare for the second round of promotion, trying to help teams go further in the playoffs to get on the stage of the finals and lift the O'Brien Cup, so the game is becoming more and more exciting, attracting the attention of tens of thousands of fans. At the same time, the dynamics off the field are equally appealing and worth checking out.
As the playoffs progressed, the game became more exciting and intense, and the fierce physical confrontation also caused injuries to some teams, casting a shadow on the team's playoff prospects. For the teams participating in the playoffs, it can be said that the joy and sorrow of some teams throughout the season may be in vain. Today, the league ushered in 1 good and 1 bad news, Doncic debut time exposed, Booker injury update, fear of series reimbursement, can be described as a happy family sad!
The first is Doncic, the former accidentally strained his left calf the last time in the regular season, resulting in his lack of access to the first two games of the playoffs with the team, but his teammates competed to help the team get a 1-1 record, allowing the two teams to return to the starting line. And for his playoff debut time is also in the spotlight, his return will undoubtedly make the Lone Ranger more powerful. According to local media in Dallas, Luka Doncic has recovered from his injuries and plans to return to play in one of the two games of the series G3 or G4, so that the team has taken a reassuring pill.
The Phoenix Suns, a powerhouse in the same zone, were not so lucky, and the injury stop of one of the big three, Booker, made the team's prospects for the championship confusing. During a retreat, Booker accidentally strained his hamstring, which not only ruined the game he could have won, but also shattered the team's dream of winning the championship. According to the Suns' updated injury report, Booker may be reimbursed for a hamstring injury in this series and will not be available until the second round.
Referring to the similar injury player suspension situation in the league, it is really difficult for Booker to come back in this series. The most convincing is the 76ers' Harden, who has been plagued by tendon injuries in the past two seasons and is called "smart hamstring" by the outside world. Among them, Harden's first stretch tendon suspension was as many as 17 games, up to 35 days, and then relapsed and suspended for 8 days. At best, if Booker also suspended for at least 8 days, the series is basically over, and on the other hand, if Booker also suspends for a month, this season may be reimbursed, and the team may be hopeless to win the championship.
