On May 2, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoff division semifinals began to compete, and there was a lot of news during this night, the Warriors and Bucks were successfully won the first game, the series was dominant, and there were also some players who were dynamically updated with injuries!
1. Embiid will miss the first two games of the series
Embiid has suffered a fractured right eye socket and a mild concussion injury, and the return date is uncertain, and now according to the famous Woj report, Embiid will not travel with the team to Miami and will miss the first two games against the Heat. And if he wants to make a comeback in G3 or G4, he will have to go through the league's concussion deal before he can play!
Embiid's absence is very fatal for Philadelphia, and against the powerful Heat, it seems unlikely that they will have an advantage on the road!
2. Lowry will miss his first game against Philadelphia
The Heat have released the team's injury report, and the team's backcourt veteran Lowry will miss the first game against Philadelphia due to a hamstring injury!
And doctor Evan Jeffries described Lowry's injury, saying: "It has been 9 days since Lowry was first injured, and injuries with first-degree strains of hamstrings usually take 7-10 days to recover. Lowry could make a comeback in G2 in the series. ”
This is also very important for the Heat, the team needs Lowry's defensive ability and organizational ability on the court, and he will play more easily at Butler!
3, the lone ranger will be little Hardaway recovery progress will resume basketball activities faster

That's good news for the Lone Ranger, but don't expect him to do anything to help the team in the playoffs this season, and even if the Lone Ranger makes it to the Finals, he probably won't make a comeback!
