The Nets will host the Grizzlies on Monday, Beijing time, and the two teams updated their rosters before the game.
Among them, the Nets' Warren and Williams are unable to play due to injury, because the core guard Irving who has been banned for many games because of the anti-Semitic incident has changed from a suspended state to a doubtful game, and Irving is likely to usher in a comeback in this game.
Irving's comeback is very important good news for the Nets, Irving's comeback can greatly ease Durant's pressure on offense, and the Nets' overall offensive ability can also be greatly improved. Irving averaged 26.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game this season, and Irving is still one of the league's strongest scorers.
Morant's name is not included in the Grizzlies' updated roster of players, and Grizzlies star Morant has been diagnosed with a first-degree sprain in his ankle and is expected to miss at least a week before returning to play, Morant's absence has reduced the Grizzlies' overall strength a lot, especially the lack of an All-Star who can decide the outcome of the game at key moments of the game.
Morant is averaging 28.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game this season, and he is the absolute core of the Grizzlies. Without Morant, Bane and Dillon Brooks must take on more offensive responsibility, otherwise it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to compete with the Nets with two stars, Durant and Irving!
