On April 26, Beijing time, in the fourth quarter of the Jazz and Lone Rangers game, Donovan Mitchell limped after a breakthrough, and then he entered the dressing room and did not return, he kept covering his left leg.
After the third quarter of this game, it actually entered garbage time, and I don't know why Snyder still wanted Mitchell to appear, and as a result, Mitchell left the game injured.
According to ESPN correspondent Tim McMahon, Mitchell suffered an injury to the tendon in his left leg and will undergo an MRI tomorrow.
Counting donovan Mitchell's playoff injuries, there are as many as five players: VanVleet suffered a hip flexor strain in G4 and missed G5, and G6's appearance is doubtful;
Embiid suffered a torn thumb ligament in G3, but he was reluctant to be reimbursed for the surgical season, and he endured the pain of playing with an injury, resulting in Two consecutive losses to Philadelphia;
Middleton sprained his left knee in G3 with an undecided return date;
Booker suffered a hamstring strain in the third quarter of G1, and the return date is uncertain;
This is not counting Doncic, Lowe and others who suffered injuries at the end of the regular season, because these people have now returned, and here we have to mention Ben Simmons, who originally planned to return to G4 but finally announced that he was unwilling to play with repeated back injuries. It's clear that injuries have a profound impact on the situation in the playoffs.
Take the Philadelphia vs Raptors series, if Embiid is not injured, the Raptors have no chance to win two games in a row, Embiid does not dare to exert force at all on the defensive end, he is afraid of being hit again in the defense, the Raptors will catch Embiid, when the inside line continues to burst, Philadelphia shrinks the defense after the Raptors also opened. Like the previous dish to the unworkable Trent have opened.
The Sun and pelicans are 2-2, can the Pelicans hit 2-2 if Booker is not injured? The Suns offensive whistled an arrow at the loss of Booker, he was the Suns' number one scorer, he could attract the bag clip to pull away 1 on 1 at key moments, Booker was injured too much for the Suns to hit.
The point is that Booker has determined that Tenno Mountain will not fight, the Pelicans want Black Eight is really promising, if Booker's series reimbursement, pelicans in two consecutive Black Eight promotion is not without probability.
The Celtics, with a neat lineup, made a comeback in the playoffs, and they completed the sweep against the Nets without a Simmons, which was the only first-round sweep of the season. It can only be said that the health of the back may be the only way to win the championship.
