The Clippers are going crazy! Shams spoke about Ka's injury on the Stadium podcast. Shams revealed that Ka had an injection into his knee, which helped him ease inflammation.
The first round of the playoffs between the Clippers and the Mavericks G1 will start in two days (3:30 a.m. on April 22), and Xiaoka is still unsure whether he can play. The message from the Clippers is to maintain "cautious optimism", optimistic conditions can play, if not...
Xiaoka is too important to the Clippers, he is the backbone of the Clippers, and the offense and defense depend on him. The small card is healthy, and the Clippers still have a chance to compete for the championship. If the card is not healthy, then the Clippers should not think about competing for the championship, and they may not be able to pass the first round. Clippers reporter Farbod Esnaashari couldn't hold back on the injury, saying he couldn't report on the injury at all. Especially considering that he still tells the media and his teammates that he is fine after suffering a torn cruciate ligament in his knee and is out for the season. (In the 2021 Western Conference playoffs semifinals, after the Clippers 2-2 Jazz game, Xiaoka said in an interview that it was okay, but he was actually reimbursed for the season due to a torn cruciate ligament.) ）
Despite knowing that the card is important to the Clippers, Clippers president Frank said in an interview that if the card is not healthy enough to play, then he will not play. As long as he is at serious risk of injury, they won't let him play. It should be said that the Clippers are quite patient with Xiaoka, and the protection is also in place. When it comes to building a roster and protecting players, the Clippers have done everything they can to be impeccable. But injuries always come unexpectedly, and the Clippers have had a bad year.
The Clippers still have to think about the playoffs, and the Warriors are starting their offseason. The Warriors spent $383 million this season and finished in 10th place in the West. Even Cole couldn't stand it, saying that it shouldn't be. In the offseason, the Warriors earthquake was inevitable.
The Spinach Company offered the latest odds on Curry's next home, leaving the Warriors with a wide lead of -5000. Spurs are second at +650 odds. Joining the Lakers ranks third with +800. The next place is the Hornets, Heat, Bulls, Mavericks, Celtics and Suns.
Crazy, Curry will really leave the Warriors, although the probability is small, but it's not impossible. Wembanyama said in an interview that players have already sent him messages to discuss teaming up at Al-Quart, but he just wants to do what players should do. Players who are still in the playoffs will certainly not be so anxious to discuss teaming up with Wembanyama, and the only ones who send messages to Wembanyama are the teams that missed the playoffs. Some fans speculated that the player who messaged Wembanyama could be Trae Young. Curry certainly wants to stay with the Warriors, but Trae Young doesn't. Trae Young and Murray overlap and the two will certainly go one in the offseason.
Although the Spurs are only second from bottom in the West this season, Wembanyama has shown everyone the potential of this team. Wembanyama has played in 71 games for the Spurs this season, and in less than 30 minutes, he was able to shoot 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.6 blocks while shooting 46 percent from the field and 32 percent from three-point range. Wembanyama has a lot of influence on both ends of the floor, and this is his rookie season, and he's just 20 years old.
Needless to say about the future, as long as the Spurs equip Wembanyama with a reliable guard in the offseason, the Spurs can take off next season. If Curry really wants to leave the Warriors and go outside, then the Spurs should really go all out to pursue Curry. The combination of Curry and Wembanyama is exciting to think about!
