In the first round of the playoffs, few teams were fully played. Nuggets Murray and Porter's two top salaries have long been reimbursed for the season, the Nets' Harris has been reimbursed, Simmons expects G4 to return, Celtic's Rowe expects G3 to return, Eagles Capela suffered a knee injury and is expected to miss the first round, Bulls Ball's left knee surgery season reimbursement, Lone Ranger Doncic has missed 3 games, the return date is undecided. These are the main injuries of several playoff teams.
In addition, in addition to the Warriors, the core of the team has almost all the injuries of different degrees.
Suns: Booker has a first-degree strain on his hamstring and will miss 2-3 weeks. If the team goes well, it will basically not be able to return until the Western Conference Finals. However, the truth is that the Pelicans had a tough first round and the Suns are currently 2-1 ahead.
Bucks: Middleton has a sprained medial collateral ligament in his knee and is expected to have a hard time coming back before the Finals. In the first round of the Bulls, the alphabet-led Bucks will most likely pass, but in the end, after 6-7 battles, the Bucks currently lead 2-1.
Heat: Lowry suffered a hamstring injury in a recent game against the Hawks, the severity of which is unknown. Although the hawks have a low probability of black eight, Trae Young's ability to pivot will still create a certain degree of difficulty for the Heat, who are currently leading 2-1.
According to espnon's latest news, the 76ers star Embiid has soreness in his right thumb, which may be a strain or a torn ligament, which needs to be evaluated by further MRI examination.
The injury tide of this wave of core players is very similar to last season's playoffs, the main reason is that in today's small ball era, there are many runs, fast pace and too dense schedules in the past two years, which is easy to cause fatigue injuries. The Bucks and Suns, who stood on the stage in the Finals last year, were the two teams with the least impact from injuries. In today's championship favorites, in addition to the Warriors and Celtics, the rest have core injuries, which also makes the championship situation change. Several championship teams are evenly matched, there is no such a single super team, it can be said that this year is still the year when the team's health determines the championship, depending on whether you can resist.
This is a challenge and an opportunity for the 76ers, although the emperor suffered a finger injury, but the finger injury is better than the leg injury, Kobe Bryant played the entire playoffs with a finger injury that year, and This season Lavin's finger strain also played for more than a month. And according to Shams' latest revelations, the emperor vowed to bring injuries to battle. Although the finger injury has a certain impact on the shooting, the emperor's internal advantage still exists, but the offensive efficiency and interior killing ability will decline, which requires the team to make a timely response.
Outside the team: They can only rely on the Hawks to give some strength, dragging the series with the Heat to Game 6 or even 7, while they can wait and embiid has more time to deal with the injury.
Team: They want Harden to be himself. In the first three games, Ha has only made 13 shots, less than Maxi and Harris, and often chooses to attack more at key moments or in point-chasing moments. The reason is that one is afraid of repeated hamstring injuries, and the other is that he wants to gradually exert his strength in the next few rounds. The emperor's unexpected injury has to be forced out of full force in advance, only to find the rocket's offensive mode, the 76s may go further, and even realize the dream of the championship, and this is also harden can best prove himself and reverse the best way to reverse the unfavorable wind evaluation.
