Crazy night! Little Card suddenly left the team due to injury, James first in the league, and the play-off time was announced
On April 3, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and there was a crazy night off the court, the Clippers suffered a blow, Leonard suddenly left the team and returned to Los Angeles due to a sudden injury; the 76ers ushered in good news, the team's core Embiid will usher in a comeback; James has performed very well at critical moments this season, ranking first in the league in the final quarter goals; the league announced the play-off time, which will start on April 17-20.
The Clippers have been on a good streak lately, winning three in a row and retaining their fourth place in the West. But at this time, Leonard had a sudden situation and will miss today's game against the Kings due to right knee soreness. Coach Tyronn Lue revealed that Leonard had a knee problem in the previous game against the Hornets and has returned to Los Angeles for better treatment. At the end of the season, the teams were still very cautious, and during this time, the Clippers continued to play on the road, and they also needed to give Leonard a rest.
The 76ers officially announced that Embiid's status this time was upgraded to a doubtful appearance (50% probability), and then Woj revealed that he would play. Embiid was absent for two months after suffering a displaced meniscus flap in his left knee, and the team's record has been declining, and has fallen to eighth in the East. Embiid started this season with a strong start, but unfortunately this injury made him directly out of the competition for various awards, and the team's prospects are not optimistic. Embiid played in 34 games and averaged 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
James is in his 21st season, but his performance is still very good, and there is no downward trend. And he has also been very good in crunch time, ranking first in the league with 180 goals in the final quarter this season, followed by Fox and Antetokounmpo. Once the Lakers can make the playoffs, then James will be a bigger threat, and then James will come back in the playoffs. James has played in 65 games this season, averaging 25.4 points, 7.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game.
The NBA officially announced that this season's play-offs will start on April 17-20 (Beijing time).
The play-offs have also been created more and more successfully, allowing the ninth and tenth teams to see the opportunity to advance, and the single-elimination game has also brought a lot of variables. The competition for the Western Conference play-offs is still fierce, with the Suns and Kings still having a chance to qualify directly for the playoffs, while the Lakers want to rush to the top eight, which means one more chance of a repechage.
