Beijing time on March 23, as the regular season is coming to an end, many stars are now actively recovering and striving to return as soon as possible. According to ESPN reports, Westbrook will return as soon as next week against the Pacers. It was previously expected that he would He came back at the end of the regular season, and the result was nearly half a month ahead of schedule. I have to admire Westbrook's body. His return will be a huge improvement for the Clippers. The Clippers' winning rate in the games Westbrook played this season is as high as 66%, while the team's winning rate in his absence is only 50%.
In addition to Westbrook, I believe everyone is most worried about the Lakers' rotations. CBS reporters previously revealed that Vanderbilt, Wood and Vincent will all be reimbursed for the season this season, but today the Lakers team reporter reported More reliable news, according to his report, Lakers insiders revealed that between Vanderbilt and Vincent, Lakers insiders believe that Vanderbilt will return at the end of the regular season.
If Vanderbilt can come back, it will be good news for the Lakers. After all, they are at the bottom of the team's defensive league after the All-Stars. After falling out of the play-offs, the Lakers' offensive efficiency ranks among the top three in the league after the All-Star Game, while their defensive efficiency ranks among the bottom five. Vanderbilt's excellent single defense and switching defense capabilities can help the team.
Vincent will most likely be reimbursed for the season. It is estimated that many fans have no expectations for him. After all, Dinwiddie has now taken over his role, and Wood is the team's backup center. His role cannot be ignored. According to the Lakers Reporters accompanying the team revealed that if the Lakers can reach the play-offs or playoffs, Wood will have a chance to come back. The Lakers have not had a complete lineup to play games this season, and they are looking forward to their full performance.
However, a lot of bad news has come out of the Lakers recently. The first is Prince. According to US media reports, Prince missed today's Lakers game against the 76ers due to personal matters. The reason for his absence is estimated to be that many fans Friends also know the reason. A few days ago, the US media reported that Prince had an affair during his marriage. I guess he has to deal with the matter. I hope he can return as soon as possible. He is indispensable for the Lakers substitute. The presence.
Now as the regular season comes to an end, the Lakers' rotations are becoming less and less. Now Ham is basically rotating with 8 people. In addition to the starting five Tigers James, Russell, Reeves and Hachimura, Substitute Dinwiddie, Prince and Hayes, and sometimes Christie will get playing time. Others will not get the chance unless it is garbage time, and when it comes to this, I have to mention Sifino.
Cifino is a player that the Lakers won with the 17th pick in the first round in 2023. The team originally hoped that he could provide some help to the team's substitutes, but since the season he has been playing garbage time, it's not Hamm. Given a chance, Sifeino's performance was indeed too low than expected. Forget it is lower than expected, and now there is bad news about Cifeno's injury, which has become the last straw for Lakers fans.
According to US media reports, Sifino recently underwent minimally invasive surgery to remove a disc and is expected to recover during the offseason. It is estimated that many fans are familiar with this injury. Simmons was ruined by this injury. Although the Nuggets' Porter Jr. is playing well now, it was also because of this problem that he lost his position as the No. 1 high school student in the United States. Ability, now reduced to the role of a fixed-point shooter.
This may ruin Cifeno's entire career. This season, Cifeno averaged 1.6 points in 5 minutes per game and shot only 22% from the field. It was very eye-catching. But after learning that Cifeno accepted After the operation, many Lakers fans and bloggers made crazy complaints about it: "Our 20-year-old rookie just had back surgery? The funny thing is that we gave up Whitmore because of injury concerns, but he is healthy and given The team is very helpful. Cifeno only plays in garbage time. How did he get injured?"
I don't know exactly how he was injured, but Cifeno loves playing games. Maybe sitting for a long time affected his lumbar spine. When the Lakers drafted It was indeed a surprise to win him. You must know that no one was optimistic that Sifino would be selected with this pick. Behind him, Whitmore, the white devil who was the top five pick in the draft, was eventually selected by the Rockets with the 20th pick. won, and has been very dominant this season.
The second pick is Harks, who previously played at UCLa. Although he is an older draft pick, Harks has now become the core rotation of the Heat and has the potential to be an All-Star in the future. The 19th pick is the current starting wave of the Warriors. Demski, it can be said that the three players behind Cifeno all have the potential to become stars in the future, but Cifeno's performance was disappointing. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
