On April 15, Beijing time, as the playoffs approach, the injuries of many NBA stars have also attracted widespread attention from fans. According to famous reporter Charania and several US media reports, Warriors star Curry is expected to return in G1 in the playoffs, Mavericks star Doncic is expected to miss the playoffs G1, Nets star Simmons will make his season debut in the first round of G4 as soon as possible, and Cavaliers star Janet Allen will try to play in tomorrow's playoffs.
Curry has participated in the training match and plans to play in G1
reporter Charania reported that if Curry feels good in today's training match, he will return in the first game against the Nuggets' playoffs. Curry was crushed by Smart in his ankle in the match against the Celtics on March 17 and has been missing until now. The Warriors and the Nuggets' first game will be played at 8:30 am on April 17.
"Everything is great, heading in the right direction, I have never enjoyed training like this," Curry said. "It's still a bit strange to recover quickly from 0% to 75%. I hope I can come back in the first game with the Nuggets. I have strong confidence to help our team win the game." Curry revealed that his feet will still feel a little pain and discomfort, but he doesn't need to wait until 100% recovery. "When you are allowed to play, there is no time to really worry about these issues. Will you help the team win? Can you make an impact on the court? If I think my answer is yes, I'm ready."
Warriors coach Cole also gave an interview after today's training match and updated Curry's condition. "Curry played three 6 minutes of full games in training today and everything went well," Cole said. "If there were no other problems, he should be able to play in the first game against the Nuggets."
Cole said that there will be a time limit for Curry's return. "The situation looks good now, but he will not play 30-35 minutes after he comes back." Curry's average playing time in the regular season this season is 34.5 minutes.
Doncic is confirmed to be absent from G1, experts are worried about being absent for a longer time
reporter Charania reported that Mavericks star Doncic is expected to miss the first game of the series with the Jazz. Doncic suffered a calf injury in a breakthrough in the third quarter of the regular season finale against the Spurs, and did not return after leaving the court for treatment. The Mavericks and Jazz's G1 will start at 1 a.m. on April 17.
Medical expert Evan said that if Doncic's calf was a second-degree strain (partially torn), he thought Doncic might even miss the entire series. If Doncic cannot play in this series, the Mavericks' prospects will be very unoptimistic. This season, Doncic averaged 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game.
Simmons' fastest return to G4, Nash said that the road is still long
reporter Charania reported that Nets star Ben Simmons is expected to make his Nets' career debut between the first round of the series against the Celtics (April 26-30 Beijing time). The G1 series between the Nets and the Celtics will start at 3:30 am on April 18, Beijing time. Simmons hasn't played this season and is expected to make his Nets' career debut in the first round of the playoffs.
However, this news was not confirmed by Nash. Nash has always spoken cautiously about Simmons' injury progress, and this time is no exception. Nash said Simmons still has a long way to go before his debut this season. "Whether Simmons can come back depends on himself, it does not depend on me or anyone else. Within the team, we will not say that Ben (Simmons) will come back in this series. Let's wait and see." Durant also said that he will not put additional pressure on Simmons' return, and just hope that he will recover as soon as possible.
Allen will try to play in the tomorrow's playoffs
reporter Charania reported that Cavaliers All-Star Janet Allen will try to play in the tomorrow's playoffs against the Hawks. His current state in the injury report is questionable (it is doubtful to play, 50% possible to play). Since March 7, Allen has been missing due to a finger fracture.This season, Allen averaged 16.1 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. During his time on the field, the Cavaliers beat their opponent 4.4 points in a hundred rounds, while during his time on the field, the Cavaliers beat their opponent only 0.2 points in a hundred rounds. If he can return, it will be of great help to the Cavaliers in the playoffs.
