On May 10, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued to unfold, and the competition in the East and West semifinals has entered a white-hot, two of which have been tied 2-2. At this critical time, the last thing the team wants to hear is the injury situation, and once a player is absent, the team's strength will also be affected. Since the start of the playoffs, there have been multiple injuries, and some cores have been absent.
And today, the Eastern Conference's title-winning Celtics are also in trouble, starting inside robert Williams suddenly has an injury situation. The Celtics then updated the official that Williams missed the game due to a sore left knee. Williams played in five games in the playoffs, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, 6.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks. Don't look at the data is not very brilliant, but his role on the field is still very critical, can help the team to hold the inside line, his strong body can also top a letter brother.
Now without Rowe, the Celtics can only passively change sides, Grant Williams will take his lead and Horford will be in the center position. In addition, Theis on the bench will also get some chances, but his movement speed will be a little worse than Lowe.
At present, the Celtics are 1-2 behind the Bucks, and this time there is one less main player, it depends on whether Tatum and Brown can usher in an outbreak, only if they play out, the team has a chance to win the game.
In addition to the Celtics having trouble, six of the eight teams that are competing in the semifinals have injury troubles. The other five teams, the Bucks' second-in-command Middleton, remain absent, the 76ers Embiid has torn thumb ligaments and fractured right orbit (already played with injuries), Heat Lowry hamstring injuries, Grizzlies Morant knee injuries, Warriors Payton Jr. and Iguodala. I really don't want any more injuries to appear, so that every team can use the strongest lineup to attack.
