This season's small card, which can be called an iron man, can't stand it after all, and is sure to miss the big battle with the Warriors.
It's not a rotation, but it's a real injury, a strained left adductor muscle.
Immediately afterwards, the team reporter revealed that the small card will not only rest for one game, but will even withdraw from this year's All-Star Weekend.
Before the game, Xiaoka only played 4 games, and so far this season has contributed 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.7 steals per game, shooting 52.7%, 45.3% and 89.1% from three, almost reaching the 180 club, and the Clippers are currently 35-17 in the third place in the West.
Because of this, Xiaoka appeared in the MVP list for a long time and ranked fifth in the ESPN mock voting list.
However, if the next Xiaoka is injured for too long, resulting in the final number of games this season not reaching or barely meeting the MVP selection standard of 65 games, there is a high probability that he will not be able to win the MVP.
But as we all know, Xiaoka has never been interested in regular season awards, so he will not force an injury to the game for some reason for the sake of MVP, resulting in a basic reimbursement this season.
Xiaoka's Chinese agent barbecue sister Lu Yinqing disclosed the details of Xiaoka's injury, saying that the latter was injured in the third quarter of the Clippers' recent 100-121 loss to the Timberwolves and will probably need to rest for more than a week.
The small card only scored 18 points in this game, which led to the fate of the super battleship being broken through the defense by the wolves at home, but the poor interior line is still the main reason for the loss.
Gobert Downs combined for 41 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, while Zubac and Plumlee off the bench combined for only 8 points and 14 rebounds, a huge gap.
It's a pity that the Clippers didn't make any moves before this year's trade deadline, and they didn't do anything while watching others eat and drink.
It means that even if the interior problem is hopelessly serious, the Clippers have lost their remedy and can only continue to pinch their noses and play with the current lineup.
Everyone is thinking that Capela, Dengo's favorite big center, will not come, at least not this season.
Judging from the current situation, the Clippers are a championship team, but they are definitely not the favorites to compete for the championship, and the weak interior will only become a breakthrough for opponents to punish them in the playoffs!
