On April 23, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA playoffs continued. According to the schedule, the Nets will play the Celtics at home tomorrow for the third leg of the series. In the first two games, the Nets have lost away from home and are currently trailing the Greens 0-2 on aggregate.
Earlier today, both teams released team injury reports. On the Nets side, Griffin (sprained left ankle) was in doubt, Harris (left ankle surgery) did not make a appearance, and Simmons (back injury & looking for game status) did not make a appearance.
Nets coach Nash said of several of the team's injured people: "Ben Simmons will not be in the third game tomorrow, he plans to have another training session tomorrow. Griffin and Aldridge are likely to play in this series, and I like it and think the team needs the defense and rebounding of Drummond and Clarkston. ”
Simmons himself talked about recovery, saying: "Once my body is ready, of course I want to be able to help the team win, that's what I'm here for. At the moment I feel good, I am very hopeful of a comeback in the series and G4 is possible. Note, the Nets will have their third and fourth games against the Celtics this Sunday and next Tuesday.
The Celtics side has ushered in a major positive, according to a famous ESPN reporter, Green Army center Robert Williams will return in G3 against the Nets, but there will be playing time limits. If G3 goes well, Lowe's playing time in G4 will increase dramatically.
There is no doubt that for the Green Army, Lowe's comeback is a huge positive. After a game against the Timberwolves on March 28, Lowe confirmed a torn left knee meniscus and has been absent ever since. With his return, the Green Army's strongest lineup will surface.
