On April 21, Beijing time, the Sun officially announced that the NMR results showed that Booker suffered a slight strain on his right hamstring, and the return date was undecided. ESPN celebrity Woshen said Booker may be absent from G3 and G4.
Sports medicine expert Dr. Evan Jeffries tweeted an assessment of Booker's injury, writing: "Booker suffered a minor strain of the hamstring, that is, a first-degree strain. As a rule, this type of injury requires a 7-10 day recovery period. Booker can't be too hasty, his injury is similar to harden last year, if he makes an early comeback, the result I think everyone has seen. ”
Bookmakers updated their championship odds on the status of playoffs, and after Booker was injured, the Suns' odds dropped slightly, but remained in first place. Warriors odds skyrocketed, rising to second, and the Nets dropped out of the top five. The specifics are: Suns (+275), Warriors (+375), Bucks (+475), Celtics (+750), Heat (+900).
Booker is injured, Paul led the Suns to advance to the next round of the problem is not big, the key is that the second round of the opponent is difficult to entangle, wait until Doncic returns, the probability of the Lone Ranger defeating the Jazz will increase greatly, if the Suns are conservative about Booker's comeback, what are the odds of the 58 guns against the Lone Ranger in full state?
In short, it was time to test the sun god's healing skills once again.
