The Brooklyn Nets were barely ever completely healthy throughout the normal season.
Regrettably, the harm gods simply will not leave the Nets alone. Less than 1 minute into Game 1 of the second-round show from the Milwaukee Bucks, Harden left and moved into the locker area. He had been subsequently ruled out for the rest of the game because of this hamstring.
"I did not understand what had occurred until he'd begun walking off the court, but we assumed to operate [a] drama and he was not in his place, and that I looked at him, he was grimacing," Durant said following the match . "It just stinks. It stinks. It stinks because I need him to stand out there. I understand just how much he cares. I understand how much he wishes to be in this instant. It stinks. Keep him engaged as far as you can. It is only a bad fracture."
Following the match, Nets coach Steve Nash talked of Brooklyn's accident history this year and Harden's significance to the group.
"You know we have a lot thrown at us this season, therefore we had been, in a feeling, well trained for this particular occasion," Nash explained. "But you don't ever wish to find out that for somebody like James, who's such a significant participant and this amazing player and cares a lot better. I am heartbroken for him. I really don't understand what is going to take place. I really don't know if he is playing another game, if he is out. I don't have any idea. But I am heartbroken for him he needed to miss tonight"
This series currently has lots of accidents weakening either side. The Nets are playing with Game 1 without ahead Jeff Green. The Bucks lost protector Donte DiVincenzo for its postseason throughout their first-round series from the Miami Heat.
Injuries have regrettably been a continuous feature of this condensed season, but as Nash stated, Brooklyn is developed to withstand them and another group. Having three All-Star shot founders helps shield them against an accident to any of these. The duo of Kyrie Irving and Durant remains more than sufficient to keep the crime afloat for a brief period, but so as to win the tournament, the Nets will require all three of the celebrities leading.
