The NBA schedule is too close, and seven major stars have been injured in the playoffs, and their teams are out or about to be out

NBA playoffs are in progress and the second round is now in progress.

The eight teams eliminated in the first round are the Heat, Magic, Bucks, Pistons, Grizzlies, Rockets, Lakers, and Clippers. The Cavaliers are now out of the second round. In the game ending today, they lost to the Pacers and were eliminated 1-4 with a big score, while the Celtics and Warriors are also behind 1-3.

Although the Pacers' promotion mainly depends on the team's outstanding performance, in fact, the issue of injury has also caused a lot of controversy. In today's playoffs, the schedule is too tight. The Grizzlies played 4 games in 7 days, and the Nuggets played 11 games in 22 days. The close schedule is also one of the reasons why the stars are injured. So far in the playoffs, seven major stars have been injured.

First place: Lillard

Lillard was absent due to injury in the first round, and after returning to a game, he was reimbursed for the season.

The Bucks who lacked Lillard were eliminated 4-1 by the Pacers in the first round. With the Pacers' state, even if Lillard returns to the Bucks, they may not be able to defeat the Pacers, but it did affect the competition between both sides.

Second place: Morant

Morant's injury has nothing to do with the schedule, mainly because the opponent's defense moves are too big! Before Morant was injured, the Grizzlies once led the Thunder by 29 points at home. After Morant was injured, the Grizzlies lost only 2 points at home in the fourth game. There is no reason to believe that if Morant was not injured, the Grizzlies would not be swept by the Thunder, and they even have the hope of dragging the game into Game 6.

Third place: Jimmy Butler

In the game against the Rockets, Butler fell heavily to the ground and was injured and missed some games.

then returned, but its condition also declined, and the impact still existed. Butler's injury was also one of the reasons why the Warriors and the Rockets won until the tiebreak, and the impact was Curry's injury.

No. 4: Curry's injury occurred in the second round, but it wouldn't be too tired if it wasn't for the first round of tiebreak. This is the chain reaction of Butler's injury.

If Butler was not injured, if the Warriors did not have to be dragged into tiebreak by the Rockets, then maybe Curry might not be injured, and Curry's injury is the main reason why the Warriors fell behind 1-3.

Fifth place: Mitchell

The Cavaliers lost in today's game, but everyone could see that Mitchell was really playing with injuries and really tried his best. He was injured at the last moment of the fourth game, but in this game, he was unable to make up for the situation.

No. 6: Tatum is as tragic as Mitchell. In the last moment of the fourth game, Tatum fell to the ground without any confrontation and was finally determined to have a ruptured Achilles tendon. Although the Celtics have not been eliminated 1-3, they cannot win the championship this season and have lost Tatum. The future is really full of shadows.

No. 7: James

Several other injured stars really missed the game, and it was really obvious that they were injured on the court. But although James was injured, he still insisted on playing until the last moment. It was not until the end of the game that the Lakers were eliminated that they were injured.

In fact, there is no need to doubt the authenticity of James' injury. As a veteran, it is impossible to have no injury on his body after playing for so long. But James' injury cannot be dumped on Divincenzo, and the collision did not affect James' leg.

Among the remaining teams, the Pacers, Knicks, Thunder, Nuggets and Timberwolves are relatively healthy, and the ones who finally advanced to the East and West finals should be the 5-choose 4.

The "leftover" is king, and health is the first priority.
