It's crunch time for the playoffs from chscomet.org
As we are a couple of weeks from the playoffs, teams need everyone on the roster to be suited up and ready to go. If you are a playoff contender, every game from here on out is for home court advantage. Home court advantage comes in handy in the beginning of a series and definitely at the end. In the NBA, the higher seed always gets the first two games at home. If you take care of business at home, you have the chance to be up two games to none entering your opponents arena. Some teams are hoping for a return of their superstars while others are awaiting a dreadful year with the hopes of being in a better position around this time next year.
To start off this wonderful week of injury reports, I have good news! Kevin Durant has been able to add more intensity to his workouts. Durant has been on injury reserve since Febuary 28th with a grade 2 mMCLcl sprain. He is expected to start non contact drills to build his conditioning back up. With the Warriors being a championship contending team, they are comfortable with Kevin returning at the start of the second round. Upon his return, it has already been established that he will be on a minute restriction. We hope to see the seven time all star back on the court amazing us with his great abilities.
With good news, there's usually bad news. (at least for me) My favorite player, Dwyane Wade has suffered a right elbow fracture that has sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Dwyane was providing nearly 19 points per contest. With the three time finals champion out, the bulls struggle to find scoring among their youth. Many people dont uderstand how valuable Dwyane Wade is. He's an underrated passer with good size and ice in his veins! The good news is, if the bulls do make the playoffs, Dwyane Wade has already started to do light shooting drills to rehab his elbow. Get well D. Wade!
The next fellow on injury reserve is Dion Waiters of the Miami Heat. Dion has led his team to wins over Golden State and the Cleveland Cavaliers, twice. In a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Waiters suffered an ankle that had kept him out for the last 5 games. Waiters has been scoring the ball effortlessly chiming in 15 points a game, tying his career high in 2013 with the Cavaliers. We hope to see his clutchness back on the court sooner than later!
Whether you have a sprained finger or a knee injury, recovering properly is crucial. Being patient is the hardest thing to do at this moment because the playoffs are right around the corner. Having a good support team around will help with the injury process.
