The NBA's new season has only just started, and I didn't expect many teams to suffer injury attacks, which is something that neither the team nor the fans want to see. St. Nova MVP Jokic left the court injured in the game against the Jazz, and the Bulls, who won four consecutive games, were also hit; the Lakers were a bit miserable, Zhan Mei was all plagued by injuries, and the injury situation was updated.
In the Nuggets and Jazz game, when Keech defended Gobert, the two collided with their knees, and then Jokic held his knees, his expression was very painful, and returned to the locker room for examination. Originally, Jokic wanted to return to the court in midfield, but was stopped by coach Malone, and then the Nuggets officially announced that Jokic suffered a right knee contusion and would not return.
As the MVP of the new branch, Jokic still performed well, and before leaving the court with injury, he had contributed 24 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and only played 15 points. And that statistic also makes him the first person in history, the first player since the merger of the NBA and ABA leagues, to achieve at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in a single game in 15 minutes or less.
The Bulls have become the current dark horse of the league, leading the East with four consecutive wins and the only team in the East to maintain a full victory. However, shortly after, Shams revealed that the Bull's core Lavin suffered a slight tear in the ligament of the left thumb, but he still intended to bring the injury to the battle. This blow is a bit big, the momentum was very good, but I didn't expect to be plagued by injuries at this time, which may also be Lavin's reluctance to go to treatment now.
The Suns announced that Cameron Payne, who suffered a right hamstring strain, will miss the game against the Kings and will be reviewed within a week. As Paul's bench, Payne is still important to the Suns, playing in 2 games this season, averaging 16.5 minutes per game, with 7 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.
In fact, since the beginning of the game, the Lakers are the most miserable team, playing 4 games, Ariza, Tucker Jr., Nunn and Ellington, these 4 players have not played for the team due to injury. In the last 2 games, the core James and Davis have suffered from injuries, James also missed the game with the Spurs due to injury, and it is unknown whether Davis can play in the next game.
And sports medicine expert Dr. Rajpal Brar revealed the injury of Zhan Mei, James is sore right ankle, not the same as last season, think that his injury is not serious; as for Davis, he thinks that his knee will also feel sore, and whether he can play in the next game depends on the degree of soreness. For the Lakers, there are many veterans in the team, and it is still necessary to pay attention to the injury situation.
