On May 6, Beijing time, this past night, a number of teams updated their injuries. The Nets officially announced that Simmons had successfully undergone surgery. Warriors officials announced that Payton Jr.'s left elbow fracture, ligaments and muscle damage, will be reviewed in two weeks. Iguodala's cervical disc recovered well and is expected to be reviewed in a week's time. Heat officials announced that Lowry's status escalation to combat is in doubt. The Bucks officially announced that Middleton's left knee recovery was progressing well.
Simmons successfully underwent back surgery
Simmons underwent a minimally invasive discectomy today at Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital in Los Angeles, attended by Robert Watkins IV. Simmons is expected to fully recover before the start of training camp next season, with a three-week "buffer recovery period" before starting to recover. Earlier, ESPN celebrity Wanaroski reported that Simmons expected to go through a 3-4 month recovery period.
Simmons himself also showed up before the operation, and his fiancée Maya-Jama posted the latest developments between the two, and Simmons kissed Jama and showed off a wave of love.
Payton Jr. revisited two weeks later and is expected to be truce for at least four weeks
The Warriors officially announced that Payton Jr.'s left elbow fracture, along with both ligament and muscle damage, would be reviewed in two weeks. Shortly after the opening of G2 in the Western Conference Semifinals, Payton Jr. was hit in the head by Dillon Brooks on a fast layup, losing his balance and breaking his elbow. Dillon has been banned from the league once and cannot play in the G3, and Warriors reporter Slater revealed that Payton, although reviewed two weeks later, is still expected to miss at least four weeks of games.
Iguodala reviewed a week later and missed the next three games
The Warriors officially released the news that Iguodala's neck disc is recovering well and will be examined again in a week' time. He has missed the team's last three playoff games with injury. Kerr has previously said that after Payton Jr.'s injury, he hopes that the first brother can return as soon as possible, preferably in G3, and now it seems that he is going to be disappointed. Slater reported that a review a week later means that a brother will not qualify for the G3, G4 and G5 matches.
Middleton's left knee recovery is progressing well, and the return date is undecided
Bucks official news, Middleton's left knee injury recovery is progressing steadily, and more updates will be made in the future. In the first round of G2 against the Bulls, Middleton suffered an injury and was diagnosed with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee after the game. Previously, US media reported that Middleton's medial paraligament sprain on his left knee was a second-degree sprain and was expected to miss the entire Eastern Conference semifinals with the Celtics. But the Bucks officials did not rule out the possibility of his comeback in this series.
Lowry's status escalated to a doubtful battle, and it is possible that G3 will return
Heat officials report that Kyle Lowry (hamstring), Hiro (ankle), Coreb Martin (ankle), Strus (hamstring), PJ Tucker (calf) and Vincent (knee) will all fly to Philadelphia today, and their status is in doubt. Of them, only Lowry's injury is considered serious, and he has missed the team's last four playoff games. Now it seems that Lowry may have made a comeback in G3. In the first two Eastern Conference semifinals, the Heat led the 76ers 2-0, and the promotion situation was very good, and the Heat's 2-0 lead of 7-4 wins in the history of the Heat finally won the series.
