The NBA regular season is still going on, and as the All-Star break approaches, teams will have a long break to recuperate, which is a good thing for many teams, as many teams have experienced injuries and other issues. Leonard, farewell! Bye! Two questions for the Clippers, please.
The Clippers and Suns are both veteran teams in the West, and they have regained their top spot in the standings, while the Lakers and Warriors are still in the playoffs, and they must continue to improve their rankings in the next games to try to get the best in overtime. The Clippers and the Suns, although they are both leaders in the standings, but they also have their own problems, after a series of transactions, the strength of the team has been greatly improved, while the Clippers have had some things happen in the recent period.
First of all, there has been a noticeable drop in the team's results, and the team's inconsistent performances in previous matches have also prevented them from winning games where they should have won, especially against stronger teams on the inside. It also adds some variables to their playoff journey. It is worth mentioning that Tucker has recently encountered one thing, that is, Tucker has not been given a chance to play, he is in talks with the Clippers, and it is said that after three months of rejection, he has made plans to resign, and he wants to return to the Clippers after the All-Star Games.
In the 23-24 season, Tucker averaged 1. points per game in 12 games with the Clippers2 points 24 rebounds 0With seven assists and a 29 percent shooting percentage, this season remains a pivotal one for Tucker. With the exception of Tucker, Hyland will reportedly not travel with the team and will not return until after the All-Star break. The departure of these two people is a good thing for the Clippers, and it is also an attitude to express themselves to the Clippers, rather than exploding in the playoffs, it is better to expose the problems in the locker room early so that they have enough time to adapt and not cause more trouble in the playoffs.
The second reason is injuries to the Clippers, one of the main reasons for the Clippers last season was injuries, and last season was the same, Leonard was sidelined with an adductor injury in his left leg, and this is no exception. In an interview with reporters, Tyronn Lue said that Leonard's injury is not too serious, and the team believes he can make it in time for the game against the Thunder, and also said that Leonard has been injured in recent weeks, and whether it is the team or other players, they have to take good care of him.
Nader's absence made him say goodbye to the team for the time being, and he needed to recuperate for a while, and Xiaoka also wanted him to recuperate well, and then come back when his injury was completely healed, after all, his importance to the Clippers is undoubted, and now the team's ranking and results are not bad, so he can rest more, and the All-Star Game will also have a long vacation, I hope Xiaoka can ** as soon as possible.
Then the rest of the game will be left to George and Harden, who will have to take their performance to the next level when Leonard returns.
