Halfway through the NBA season, the All-Star Game is about to begin. As the game progressed, injury problems gradually surfaced, and many teams faced severe tests due to injuries to key players. Among them, the Memphis Grizzlies in the West are the most affected. The Grizzlies have been plagued by injuries and the absence of several key players due to injuries, casting a shadow over the team's record and playoff prospects. According to reports, a number of players on the Grizzlies team are unavailable due to injuries, including core players Morant and Bane, defensive key player Smart, and the main rotation of Clark and Kennard. This has made the Grizzlies almost synonymous with injury messes this season.
Last season, the Grizzlies' Morant was suspended for 25 games in the league for being too flamboyant, and after his return, he led the team to a winning streak and led the team to a play-off qualification, but the season ended early due to a shoulder injury. Bane, the team's right-hand man, is still wearing protective boots and crutches due to a sprained left ankle, and it is impossible to accurately determine the time of return. Smart has an undetermined return date for a right ring finger injury, while Clark has been reimbursed for an Achilles tendon repair, and Kennard's thigh injury is still under daily observation. In the Grizzlies game, the main players could not play, and could only rely on the bench and role players to charge, while the main players stood on the sidelines wearing protective gear, which was quite embarrassing. This is reminiscent of players such as Zhong Cheng and Jiang Yuxing of the CBA Jilin team, who are also unable to participate in normal games due to injuries, such a scene is pitiful.
The Grizzlies have lost the support of their main players and slipped straight to the bottom of the league, and it has been difficult to find a win recently. Even if other players perform well, the lack of core players still plagues the team due to their limited talent and strength. In order to get revenge and win, the Grizzlies can only look forward to the full return of their main players next season. The impact of injuries cannot be ignored, and the Grizzlies need to develop effective countermeasures to overcome this as soon as possible.
The Grizzlies have been the victim of injuries this season, and the absence of key players has directly affected the team's competitiveness. How to emerge from the predicament is an urgent problem for the Grizzlies to solve. I hope the team can adjust their form as soon as possible, challenge the injuries and present a better game for the fans.
