On April 25, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued. Earlier today, the U.S. media reported on the injuries of a number of stars, including Bucks star Antetokounmpo who is still struggling to make a comeback in G3, and Lakers interior star Wood is about to return in G3.
According to Shams, "I've heard that Brother Alphabet has started some fixed-point shooting drills, but still hasn't done a lot of drilling, confrontation and running drills. He has previously suffered injuries to his left hamstring and left Achilles tendon, and now he has suffered an injury to his left calf. Therefore, the Bucks should be patient and cautious about the recovery of Brother Alphabet, and proceed naturally and step by step. I think the Bucks have to be ready to continue playing without Antetokounmpo. ”
He was injured in the Bucks' game against the Celtics on April 10, after which he was determined to have suffered a strain on his left calf soleus. In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Bucks and the Pacers are currently tied 1-1.
According to previous reports, Lakers star Wood is expected to make a comeback in G3. Wood has never played in the playoffs so far this season.
After the Lakers finished practice today, Woodgar practiced his shooting. The Lakers are currently trailing the Nuggets 2-0, and if Wood can return, it could help the Lakers ease the pressure on the inside. It's worth mentioning that Wood has never played in the playoffs in his career.
The 76ers will face the Knicks in G3 tomorrow. Speaking about his recovery, 76ers star Melton said he was ready for tomorrow's game after training in the arena yesterday and having a full session with the team today. In the regular season this season, Melton only played 38 games due to a back injury, averaging 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.9 minutes per game, and he also failed to play in the play-offs, first round G1 and G2.
On the Heat's side, Rozier has yet to play in the playoffs. According to Brian Robb of The Athletic, Heat head coach Spoelstra did not reveal Rozier's latest status, but multiple reports from Miami hinted that they wouldn't be surprised if Rozier missed the entire series. He has missed seven games in a row since his injury in early April. It is worth mentioning that Butler, the star of the Heat, has confirmed the reimbursement for the season, and Rozier's reimbursement may make the Heat even worse.
