The Clippers are back on a positive streak with a four-game winning streak. It now remains to recover one last major element in the infirmary in order to finally be able to fuel up.
Problem: the unavailability of Norman Powell, hit in the left shoulder, could drag on. Victim of a subluxation on March 2 against Golden State, the rear / winger was only to be rested for a week. More than a fortnight later, he has yet to return to training…
“He’s going to be out for a bit longer. He is still unavailable there. conceded Tyronn Lue.
Between precaution and pressure
The Clippers have reason to be careful with the shoulder of their sixth man, who had already had to be removed from the field for five weeks of absence following a similar mishap (dislocation of the left shoulder) in November 2018. time passes, the more difficult his return to the game will be, even if on this point, Tyronn Lue is hopeful of being able to reintegrate him quickly and effectively.
“We still have concerns because Norm has a lot to do with what we’ve been doing all year. When a player is out for that long and you’re on a roll, playing good basketball, you’re always worried. But he sees how we play”, he added. “We’re playing well and he’s been great for us all year, so it shouldn’t be difficult to bring him on again.”
The objective is above all that the calendar allows him to regain his legs and feelings a little in order to be as close as possible to his optimal form when the postseason will have started, that is to say within a big month.
“The most important thing is that he is healthy, but we also want to ensure that he plays enough games so that it does not happen like last year, when he had to come back for the two play matches. -in. He had no rhythm…and it was really unfair to him. So hopefully we can get him back as soon as possible.”continued Tyronn Lue.
