On April 17, Beijing time, NBA reporter Charania reported that if there are no accidents during the warm-up, then John Collins will return in G1 with the Heat in the playoffs. Eagles vs Heat's G1 will start at 1 a.m. on April 18.
Collins was injured after playing against the Clippers on March 12, he suffered a plantar fasciitis + ring finger contusion, plantar fasciitis this injury is difficult to heal and repeated, so Collins should be cured this comeback, otherwise the team doctor will not approve his comeback. (I've had this disease before, and I have severe pain when I walk)
Collins' comeback was a plus for the Hawks, but Clint Capela was sure to miss the Heat's G1, and Capela suffered a right knee sprain in the play-off against the Cavaliers and simply withdrew.
Capela, who has no structural damage to his right knee, will be evaluated again a week later, and if he can return before the end of the playoffs, he will most likely miss the first round of the Heat vs Hawks series.
Collins averaged 16.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 1 block in 30.8 minutes this season, shooting 52.6% from the field and 36.4% from three-point range; Capela averaged 11.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.3 blocks per game in 27.6 minutes;
Although the Hawks are happy and worried, through the prediction of the US media FTE, the probability of the Hawks Black Eight Heat is still 32%, and the probability of the Heat advancing to the heat is 68%, which is far from the Celtics 82%, Philadelphia 85%, and the Bucks 95%. The Heat, the first in the East, is clearly not optimistic.
The first round of these four playoff games is about to begin, and whoever wins the Heat vs. Eagles' G1 may have to change the course of the series.
