His hip injury is obviously a little more serious than expected. Absent from the parquet floors for a week, LaMarcus Aldridge will stay an additional week in the infirmary. Steve Nash said that the interior was going to be reassessed once that time had passed.
It is recalled that the 36-year-old veteran was hit during the trip to the Celtics floor on March 6. Despite his absence, the New Yorkers have just won three straight (Hornets, Sixers and Knicks).
The Brooklyn coach has obtained tokens of satisfaction from his remaining interiors, starting with Andre Drummond who has 15 points (68% on shots) and 10 rebounds in… 24 minutes over these three matches. His replacement, Nic Claxton, is also in better form with 8 points (67%) and 5 rebounds off the bench.
” It hasn’t been the easiest transition for me.”however, confides the latter, in reference to the injuries of each other. “I’m adapting, I’m just trying to string together a few matches and get my game back. We all have one goal here: to win the title. It’s about staying as present as possible, not wondering if I’m going to play 6 or 30 minutes and staying the course. I know that’s a lot easier said than done, but that’s my challenge for the rest of the year.”
A challenge that Blake Griffin must also take up, he who languishes on the bench of the Nets with a small second on the ground in the last five games…
