NBA: Towns is updated with injury, is the Lakers in the interior in a hurry? Are the Clippers interested in Holiday, and the Cavaliers dismantle the team?

The playoff division finals are in full swing, and the trend of the two groups of matches is already very clear, and the competition between the two teams in the finals is not expected to be very variable. For other teams, there have been a lot of new news recently; there were new rumors about teams including the Clippers, Lakers, Cavaliers and other teams earlier, let’s take a look together. NBA: Towns is updated with injury, is the Lakers in the inside urgent? Are the Clippers interested in Holiday, and the Cavaliers demolish the team?

Let's talk about the injury situation first. Earlier, the Knicks and the Pacers updated the injury situation of the two teams G5s. Towns is suspected of playing in G5 due to a left knee contusion. This is not friendly to the Knicks. After all, the team won a game that relied on Towns' 20-point performance in the last quarter to complete the reversal. In the last game, the team once had a stalemate with the opponent and was also relying on Towns' single-core leading the team to continuously impact the opponent's inside. Now he is suffering from injuries. Even if he continues to play, the injury will definitely affect him, which will make the Knicks, who were originally lagging behind, become more passive. On the Pacers, Nesmith had a sprained right ankle and was suspected of playing. Nesmith played in the G4 game before. The series is very obvious.

Let's talk about the Clippers. The Clippers will also have lineup adjustments during the offseason, but the priority level must be to discuss Harden's contract renewal first. It is worth mentioning that they are expected to make further adjustments in the backcourt. According to reporter Brian Robb, the Clippers are expected to express interest in Zhu Holiday this summer. Holiday averaged 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game in the regular season this season. The team that was previously rumored to be beneficial to Holiday is the Mavericks, and they expect to need a starting point guard before Irving recovers from injury. There is new news about the Lakers. Previously, the team's inside strengthening and Reeves' stay or stay were discussed more. Lakers defender Austin Reeves will almost certainly reject the $14.9 million player option in the 2026-27 season, becoming a full free agent next summer, seeking a starting salary of $30 million, the maximum amount he can renew his contract (starting salary of $19.5 million) is much lower than that.

Reeves has performed well in the regular season this past season, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game, firmly taking the position of the team as the third leader. However, his performance in both offense and defense in the playoffs declined significantly, averaging only 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. For the Lakers, what they need to consider now is whether to exchange Reeves for an inside player who can be helpful to the team for a long time in the future. The inside of the team is currently the biggest shortcoming. To make matters worse, Hayes is not expected to return. According to reporter Anthony Irwin, Jaxon Hays is unhappy with his role in the Lakers at the end of the season and is not expected to stay in Los Angeles. Anthony Irwin said from the Lakers side, they are weighing whether Redick has lost confidence in him and how he will deal with it if the team introduces a replacement this summer or arranges him to accept the expected relegation.

The last one is the news from the Cavaliers. As the number one team in the East, the Cavaliers have not been able to go further in the playoffs. In addition to the injury situation, the team's shortcomings are also relatively obvious. In the future, they will also face salary pressure. Earlier, new news came out that two of the four core members of the team were not unsold products of the team. Cavaliers reporters Chris Fedor and Ethan Sands said on the podcast "Wine and Gold Talk" that the team needs to adjust the roster if they succeed in the regular season. "I feel that the Cavaliers are more willing to listen to quotes about Jarrett Allen and Garland than in the past, and at least consider the possibility of a trade." The Cavaliers in the offseason may also face the situation of team demise. If Allen and Garland are sent away by the trade, then many teams are expected to be interested in them. Personally, I think Allen is very suitable for the current situation of the Warriors. What major trades and adjustments do you think will occur during the offseason?
