Kevin Durant (34, 208cm), who is suffering from a recent left ankle injury, is available to play in the Minnesota Timberwolves home game on the 30th (Korean time), as was initially known. Durant missed 10 consecutive games after the Dallas Mavericks match on the 6th due to an injury. Durant’s return in today’s match is bound to be very welcome for Phoenix, which holds its place as the 4th seed in the Western Conference, but is still being pursued by teams outside the direct playoff zone. For reference, after moving to Phoenix, Durant flew with an average of 26.7 points (FG 69%), 7.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 3P 53.8% in 3 games.
Along with this, the Lakers, who will play the second game away from Chicago, will return after recovering from a hip injury with D’Angelo Russell (27, 193cm). However, in the case of Lebron James (38, 206cm), who returned to the court on the 27th and sortie from the bench, it is listed as ‘Questionable’. If James confirms his absence, the chance to play is expected to go to Austin Reeves (24, 196cm).
It was reported that Norman Powell (29, 190cm), who had been on the disabled list for over a month due to a shoulder injury, could return to play on the 30th. On the other hand, while injury warnings were issued for the Memphis Grizzlies and Utah Jazz, they had time to take a look at what changes were made to the injured list ahead of the game on the 30th.메이저사이트
