One of the biggest setbacks in the NBA is an
injury. Whether you are a team looking to earn a playoff spot or a championship
contender, injuries always linger over teams head. When it comes to the NBA,
there are only a selected number of spots available for players. If a
player goes down, the man that was lost has a huge impact on a team. In the
NBA, many players that are chosen does one thing great. It can range from
defending and rebounding to scoring and passing. Once a specialist goes down,
you can't simply get another player because there is money involved. Teams have
to wait until that player rehabilitates to see where they can use him on the
court.
Great news for Cleveland Cavalier fans, Kevin Love is back ladies and gentlemen! The star power forward has returned after missing 13 games of play. On his first night back, he tallied in 10 points on 5 of 9 shooting. Love was a rebound away from a double-double in 19 minutes on his return against the Utah Jazz. He is still on a minute restriction so he didn't compete against the Clippers. This is great for the Cavilers organization because they have had struggles with the absence of their four-time all-star.
Since the beginning of March, the Asian sensation, Jeremy Lin, has been scoring four more points that his average per game. In 22 minutes, he has managed to score 15 points per game. Extremely efficient I would say. Jeremy went down with an ankle sprain and is listed as day-to-day. Sources from ESPN have confirmed that the injury isn't too serious, leaving the front unconcerned.
As the second leading scorer in the NBA, Isaiah Thomas has managed to lead his team to an above par 45-26 record. Isaiah suffered a knee bruise that sidelined him for two games previous to last night. The teams play was mediocre in Isaiah's absence, but that is to be expected when you get nearly 28 points a game from your star. Fortunately, for the Celts, their all start returned Monday night ringing in 25 points on 9 of 17 shooting receiving the win. The Celtics are sitting at the number two spot in the eastern conference right now chasing the defending champions, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Touching back on the Cleveland Cavaliers, Tristan Thompson is the highlight of this week's injury report. Tristan had a mouth injury. Yes, that doesn't sound like a serious injury, it's the fact that his 439 consecutive games played streak almost ended. Tristian is fourth in offensive rebounding this year which they need him to continue to defend their NBA title.
With the playoffs arriving less than a month away, it's pivotal for players to be healthy. I think the best way to go about an injury is not coming back until you are one hundred percent healthy. I've experienced injuries get worse because I have come back slightly before I probably should have. With the NBA being a multi-million dollar industry, I'm sure the protocol to get these players back on the floor is A-1.
I like to highlight the most notable players that have sustained injuries in the NBA on my blog, but if you are looking for all of the players in the NBA with injuries, take a look at ESPN site for more information
