On March 4, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. Earlier today, according to Nets general manager Sean Max announced that Joe Harris had ankle surgery and was reimbursed early this season!
Max said: "While Harris has struggled to recover his ankle over the past few months, he has done everything he can to get back on the pitch. But it was finally determined that he would need additional arthroscopic surgery in the coming weeks. While he was able to recover from injury, unfortunately it would leave him out of the remaining regular season and playoff games of the season. We know how disappointed he is and he very much wants to be a big part of the team. Although he can't play, everyone can feel his presence and the positive parts that come with it. ”
So far this season, Joe Harris has only made 14 appearances for the Nets, averaging 30.2 minutes per game, averaging 11.3 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 46.6 percent from three-point range. After the game against the Thunder on November 15 last year, Harris has been absent since with an ankle injury.
In the middle of last month, Joe Harris also talked about his injury, saying that he did not think about a second injury and that he would focus on recovery and hope that he can come back this season. However, things exceeded his expectations, and he eventually needed a second injury.
In response, medical expert Evan Jeffries said: "I believe he has exhausted all the ways, but the second surgery seems to be the last resort." ”
As of today, the Nets have a record of 32 wins and 31 losses, ranking 8th in the East, and the team is sprinting for a playoff spot.
