The Lakers hit rock bottom

The Lakers hit rock bottom

The former Olympiacos player started the season very badly. But it seems he’s slowly regaining some of the Donner’s confidence and the results are encouraging.

Garland returned hungry

After a four-game absence due to center discomfort, Darius Garland stepped onto the floor in the game between the Cavaliers and Spurs (105-92). And he showed everyone why he got his first All Star Game call-up with 27 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists against one of the NBA’s best defensive guard twins (Dejude Murray and Derrick White).

Garland became an All Star because he deserved it, not because this year’s All Star Game will be in Cleveland. Anyone who hasn’t taken this for granted, just watch a few Cavaliers games and you’ll understand.

Samponis gives the kings something different

In the US – and beyond – there has been a lot of talk about the Pacers swapping Domandas Samponis (and Justin Holliday and Jeremy Lamp) for Tires Halibarton and Buddy Hild.

Many troll the Kings – who are not traditionally known for their good decisions – for giving a player who had the prospect of an All Star (Halibarton) and even a low contract, a forward/center who “crashed” with. Rison Holmes. your main argument? He also rushed to the Pacers with Miles Turner, a player who – unlike Holmes – opened the field with his shot. But here’s a detail: Samponis is a very good player and he showed it on his debut, where he had 22 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists in the Kings’ 132-119 win over Wolves.

There’s no doubt that Hallibarton has the talent to become an All Star and shine with the Pacers. But Samponis is already an All Star and only 26 years old. And it gives the Kings something they’ve lacked since the DeMarcus Cousins ​​days: A big man with the ability to score with personal energy and create for his teammates, as he’s one of the 4-5 best big passers in the league is.

In two or three years, this exchange may seem like a big mistake for the kings. As cynical as it sounds, the people who are making team decisions at this point may not be in Sacramento in 2-3 years. Especially if the Kings are still out of the playoffs. Right now the Kings are hoping for 10th place and the play-in tournament. And that drove them to this step, because they thought about the now and not about the future. Of course, that’s one of the reasons they traditionally drive them crazy, because they almost never think about the future. But that’s another discussion.

Did the kings do the right thing? Most people think so and maybe they are right. However, many claimed last year that the bulls got it wrong with last year’s trading deadline when they took over Nikola Vucevic, but no one believes that anymore. In the end, however, everything is judged where everything is judged: on the floor.

Antetokounmpo says how much time he could miss due to injury

Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo He injured his right calf in the match against the Denver Nuggets, resulting in his team’s defeat with a score of 100:102.

With about 40 seconds left in the game, during a quick attack, Janis suddenly stopped and caught his lower right leg. He quickly left the field and went to the locker room and returned to the bench seconds before the end of the game.

After the match, Janis confirmed that he felt pain throughout the match and had to stop:

“It doesn’t matter when I felt it. It doesn’t matter. I couldn’t finish the match. I felt it for most of the game, but I didn’t want to stop. Finally, I couldn’t move anymore and had to stop. Throughout the game, the pain got worse and worse as I played.”

Antetokounmpo estimated he would be out for four to six weeks.

“The next step will probably be an MRI tomorrow. After the MRI, they’ll probably tell me that I’ve torn something in my calf or shoulder. I’ll probably be given a protocol where I won’t play for 4 to 6 weeks.”

I will try to come back from now on with my experience in the NBA. This will probably be late February – early March. Hopefully the team will be in a position where we can at least go to the play-ins or play-offs and we will work every day and try to get better,” Janis added.

Janis finished the game with 22 points, 13 rebounds and 7 assists.

Antetokounmpo has missed eight games this season due to a calf injury and looks set to face a similar injury this time around.

Giannis, who missed a total of 16 games this season due to his injury, averaged 28.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

Len talked about the difference between playing in the NBA and the Spanish Championship

Real Madrid’s Ukrainian headquarters Alexey Len He talked about the main differences between playing in the NBA and playing in the Spanish Championship:

“I had some difficulties when I first arrived and I still have some catching up to do in the Euroleague. But the season is long, I work on myself every day, I try to play better every day and I try to help the team win more games.”

When I came here I realized this; I really like ACB matches because each team plays in its own style. There are teams that work hard in the post, while others shoot too many threes. In the NBA, everything is essentially about pick-and-rolls and three-point shots. And in ACB you never know who you will face and in what style this or that team will play. This difference makes the matches fun to watch and play. You should always be prepared because a completely different game style may be waiting for you. That’s why it’s so beautiful.”

Len, who played 17 matches for Real Madrid this season, played an average of 8.6 minutes on the field and recorded 3.9 points, 2.1 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.9 blocks during this time.

Len previously said whether he follows the performances of the Ukrainian national team and whether there is a chance of returning to the national team.
