The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the divisional semi-finals have arrived at a critical stage of competition. For many teams, the injuries of the stars will affect their final performance in the series, such as Curry and Tatum. Earlier, Tatum and Curry had further news, and in addition, the Mavericks also formally confirmed their next operations. Let’s take a look at the specific situation together.

Tatum withdrew from the final quarter due to injury. His injury attracted much attention, and there was follow-up news earlier. According to famous reporter Shams, a league source revealed that Tatum was diagnosed with a serious injury to Tatum's Achilles tendon, and the medical team immediately decided to perform the operation because timely surgery can bring more ideal healing results. The source said that complications of such surgical procedures are more common, so the Celtics are grateful that Tatum did not experience complications in this operation. The Celtics then officially announced that Tatum had successfully undergone a rupture repair surgery for the right Achilles tendon. It goes without saying what a rupture of the Achilles tendon means for a star at his peak, Tatum will face a long recovery period. "

Shams reported that according to people familiar with the matter, whether the Celtics ultimately win or lose this season, whether Tatum is injured or not, the Celtics originally planned to adjust the roster in the upcoming offseason, and this injury will create more possibilities. The Celtics' current total salary is close to $500 million, while Tatum may be absent for more than a year." In this way, many players are expected to be sent away during the offseason. Who can become a stable helper around Brown next season? Can the Celtics still maintain their competitiveness? Let's wait and see.

are also behind in a big score, and the Warriors are also the leading star who suffers injuries. Curry has missed many games, and his injury recovery and when he will be able to make a comeback have always been one of the focus of attention from the outside world. ClutchPoints reporter Brett Siegel reported that sources revealed that Curry continued to make good progress in injury, and his goal is to make a comeback in a potential G6, and the G5 life-and-death battle is still not expected to play. Curry is still there in the official update of the injury list of the Warriors, and he is sure to miss the G5. Curry has only conducted closed light training recently and has not tried sprinting or high-intensity directional movements, but is increasing jogging and hamstring load tests every day. If the Warriors can continue the series in G5, all signs indicate that Curry is very likely to be upgraded to a playable state in G6, provided that there is no recurrence in training. Of course, whether the Warriors can win the game in G5, and keeping the G6 game for Curry to come back depends on the team's performance in the next game. Butler needs to perform well at this time.

Finally, I would like to mention the view of medical expert Nirav Pandya: "According to our statistics on NBA hamstring injured players in the past five years, after a hasty return, 81% of the players will suffer (various types) injuries, and 37% of them will suffer from hamstring injuries." This also leaves a suspense. If the Warriors win the G5 game, can G6 Curry really make a comeback?

The last one is about the Mavericks; the Mavericks draw the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance, which attracted much attention. After all, the No. 1 pick is the most popular among Flag. ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon reported that sources revealed that after making a historic leap in the NBA lottery and unexpectedly won the No. 1 pick, the Mavericks plan to choose Duke forward Flag and will not consider trading the No. 1 pick out in exchange for a superstar. In this way, if Irving and Davis continue to stay in the team in the new season, then the Mavericks will be seen at some stage in the new season. The team will inevitably become one of the teams in the West with better results in the future.

Of course, this is the event next season. Their current attention is still focused on the playoffs. For the Celtics and the Warriors, they are in an unsatisfactory situation. The most fierce competition is the Nuggets and the Thunder. We will wait and see who can laugh to the end.
