NBA One Night: Harry s injury update, Pacers 2 for 1 achieved, Lakers strengthened the goal

The NBA Finals continue. After the first five games, the Thunder has already taken the lead. The 3:2 victory of winning Tianwang Mountain is only one game away from winning the championship trophy. What is more important is that the Pacers star Halliburton suffered an injury, which is likely to become a key factor affecting the series. In addition, the Pacers also reached a deal during the finals, and the goal was achieved by killing two birds with one stone; the Lakers' reinforcement goal has also been set, so let's take a look at the specific situation together. NBA One Night: Harry's injury update, Pacers 2 for 1 for 1, and Lakers strengthened the goal.

In the last game, Harry Potterton suspected of having an injury and was in no state for the whole game. He made 0 of 6 appearances in 34 minutes and scored 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. He made three mistakes and had positive and negative values ​​of 13. The team once chased the difference to only 2 points but ultimately missed the reversal and unfortunately lost the game. Famous reporter Shams revealed that Halliburton suffered a right calf strain. He will undergo MRI to determine the severity of the strain. The team will determine whether he plays in the G6 based on the test results.

This is undoubtedly a worse injury for the Pacers. After all, they are at a disadvantage now. Although Harry Potter's scoring explosive power in the game is not good, he can always make wonderful key goals and are very important for the team's organizational connection. Now his injury has become a key part of the final result of this series. Do you think the walkers still have a chance? During the finals, the Pacers also completed a 2-for-1 deal. They gave the signing rights of the No. 23 draw and Mojave King of this season, and exchanged their first round of 2026 picks. The Pacers have officially announced the deal. For Pacers, there are still two goals to achieve this operation. First, the team cleared the team's salary space of about $3.24 million, freeing up space for the subsequent renewal of Turner, ensuring more salary flexibility and avoiding excessive touching of the luxury tax line. The second point is that they can have more operational first-round picks in the future, because according to the rules, the team prohibits no first-round picks for two consecutive seasons, so that the Pacers can only provide at most two first-round picks unconditionally in any transaction. Now after this transaction is completed, they can provide up to 4 first-round picks, 26 years, 28 years, 30 years and 32 years. It is conducive to the team's subsequent operational adjustments, and it is not ruled out that they will sign stars during the offseason.

Durant's potential transactions are still being discussed, and the potential trading chips of many teams such as the Timberwolves, Rockets, and Spurs are constantly being exposed; the Suns are also measuring which team is more suitable; who can get it depends on the results of the common discussions, and for the Lakers, they have also been exposed to the reinforcement goals they will usher in the offseason.

Lakers team-accompanying reporter Anthony F. Irwin reported that sources revealed that the Lakers' internal plan is to first introduce starting centers through trading. They have negotiated with other teams for players such as Clarkston, Robert Williams, Walker Kessler. That is to say, they regard Clarkston as their primary reinforcement target, while Rowe and Kessler are the second and third options. It is still very difficult for the Lakers to get them, it depends on what kind of chips they are willing to give.

Another point they have double preparations. The reporter said that ideally the Lakers would sign a substitute center with the mini middle class; the two most commonly mentioned candidates are Brooke Lopez and Capela. This is a more suitable inside player for the Lakers lineup. The Lakers' inside lineup must be adjusted during this holiday, it depends on who they can operate.

is getting closer and closer to the offseason, and all teams are also stepping up their discussions on the possibility of operations. Many industry insiders revealed that many transactions are expected to be quickly concluded during the offseason, which makes us look forward to the arrival of the offseason. Do you think there will be unexpected deals?
