On the court, it is basically a loss! Will the Nuggets allow the inside veteran to continue to play in G7?

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff game, the Los Angeles Clippers, who played at home, defeated the Denver Nuggets 111-105, chasing the total score of the series to 3-3. Next, both sides will enter a cruel tiebreaker. The winner will meet the Oklahoma City Thunder, which is ranked first in the Western Conference in the regular season, in the Western Conference semi-finals, and the loser will be eliminated.

In this game, the Nuggets' substitute center DeAndre Jordan's performance against his old club was really bad. Jordan Jr. played 2 minutes and 58 seconds in the game. During this period, he did not complete one shot, scored 1 point, contributed only 1 rebound, and had 1 turnover and 2 fouls, with a plus-negative value of -6. Jordan's performance on the court was really bad. He had no performance on the offensive end, which everyone can actually understand. The most important thing is that Jordan Jr. cannot play any effect on the defensive end. His defensive ability and defensive awareness are no longer as good as before, and he has obvious problems in his defensive focus. Jordan Jr. doesn't play much, but the situation on the team is so bad when he is on the court. It is no exaggeration to say that if Jordan Jr. does not appear, the situation in the game may also change.

In this season's NBA regular season, Jordan Jr. made a total of 56 appearances in 82 games, averaging 12.3 minutes per game, with averaging 3.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 0.9 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.5 blocks. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1.3 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 65% and a free throw percentage of 42.2%. In the playoffs, Jordan Jr. made a total of 5 appearances in the first 6 games, with averaging 5.4 minutes per game, averaging 0.4 points, 1 rebound, 0.4 assists and 0.2 blocks, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 100% and his free throw percentage was 0%.

Jordan Jr.'s performance in the regular season was a barely useful level. However, in the playoffs, Jordan Jr.'s performance on the court was really bad. Jordan Jr. didn't play much, but his plus or negative value was -2 and his net efficiency was -3.6. In other words, when he is on the court, the team is basically in a losing position. But the problem at the moment is that there are really no one available to the Nuggets. Jordan Jr. is in such a bad state. He can still get playing time in most games. However, this way of employing people means that the Nuggets have to dig a small hole for themselves every game. In the next G7 series, which is not to be missed, I wonder how the Nuggets will arrange the team's rotation lineup. Can Jordan Jr. continue to get playing time?
