On April 21, Beijing time, ESPN famous Watson reported that Solar defender Devin Booker underwent an MRI examination and he is unlikely to play in the series G3 and G4. The team doctor believed that Booker's right hamstring injury was mild, but did not rule out the possibility of Booker's series reimbursement.
Booker scored 31 points on 7-of-10 31 in the first half of the G2, but in the third quarter he played 7 minutes and scored 0-of-1, and although he entered the dressing room to assess the injury, it was officially reported that he would not continue to play with a strain on his right hamstring.
According to another NBA reporter, Mark Stein, Booker was diagnosed with a slight strain on his right hamstring, and his return date was undecided, confirming that G3 and G4 were absent. G2 After Booker retired injured, Ingram and McCollum exploded in the final moments to help the Pelicans win with 5-of-7 blasts and 15 points, and it looked like the Pelicans had begun to dominate.
Medical expert Rajpal Brar wrote that Booker's hamstring injury was tricky even the slightest first-degree sprain, and the sun demanded a lot on him.
Another medical expert, Evan Jeffries, said that a slight sprain of the right hamstring requires at least 7-10 days of recovery time, then G4 and G3 will certainly not be able to fight.
He also advised Devon Booker to come back after he recovered, using James Harden in last year's playoffs as an example. After Harden returned, he not only lost his defensive footsteps on the offensive end but also lost his magic, but he also became the Nets' back cooker.
Although Harden has fully recovered from a hamstring injury this season, his offensive status has also declined significantly. Booker was a peak point guard, and no one wanted him to start slipping down because of a hamstring injury.
The G3 win rate prediction has been released, and the probability of the Sun winning is still as high as 60%, so even without Booker, the Sun will not necessarily be blackened.
The situation of promotion is 83% of the probability of the Suns to advance, and the Pelicans only have a 17% probability of black eight, so from this level, Booker is better at recovering from the hamstring injury, and it is the key to recovery for the championship.
