A crazy night! Tatum is reimbursed in advance in the season, Curry misses G5, and the league wants to expand to the 32nd team

On May 14, the NBA playoffs continued, and another crazy night off the court was in. Among them, Tatum's injury attracted much attention, and he eventually suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon injury. The season was reimbursed in advance and had undergone repair surgery. Curry had no miracle and would continue to miss the G5 of the series; the league officially discussed the idea of ​​expanding the NBA to 32 teams, and Seattle and Las Vegas are very interested.

Celtics officially updated Tatum's condition and successfully underwent a rupture repair surgery for right Achilles tendon.

In the final stage of the G4 series, Tatum suffered an injury in a fight, then fell to the ground in pain, then was helped by the team doctor, and finally returned to the locker room in a wheelchair. After further examination, the injury was diagnosed with a ruptured Achilles tendon, which also means that he was reimbursed in advance for the season.

With Tatum's early reimbursement, the prospects of defending champion Celtics are also very confused, and they are currently behind the Knicks 1-3 in the score. In the next G5, although the Celtics are playing at home, Tatum will not be able to play, and the series may end early. Tatum is still very important to the Celtics. Once he cannot play, the competitiveness of this team will decline. Once he is eliminated early, the lineup will be reorganized. After all, the salary is too high and some changes must be made. The Warriors officially updated the injury report. Curry will continue to miss this game due to a hamstring strain and will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Curry suffered a hamstring strain in G1 and has been absent to this day. The team is still very cautious about his situation. The Warriors are currently behind 1-3 in a big score, and the next game is a life-and-death battle. Once they lose, the series will be over. With Curry continuing to miss the series, it is also difficult for the Warriors to continue the series. In this playoffs, Curry played 8 games and averaged 22.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game.

It is reported that NBA President Xiao Hua said that he will meet with all NBA team owners in July this year to formally discuss the idea of ​​expanding the NBA to 32 teams. This is also what the league has been pursuing at the moment, and Seattle and Las Vegas have shown great interest in the NBA expansion. Among them, Seattle had a team before, but unfortunately it moved to Oklahoma due to some problems. The last time the league expanded was in 2004, when the Charlotte Bobcats (now called Charlotte Hornets) joined the league.
