Hit in the left ankle once morest the Heat the day following New Year’s Day, Nicolas Batum missed (for his greater good) the spanking once morest the Nuggets last night. On the other hand, according to information from the Bleacher Reporthe might return this Sunday once morest the Hawks.
Which team wouldn’t need a good Nico Batum to balance their team? In any case, it’s yes for the Clippers. Tyronn Lue players are indeed on a series of four defeats in a rowthe latest once morest the Nuggets, and what a defeat (31 points difference).
A Batman return might come in handy to help put a stop to all that. That’s good, Chris Haynes of Bleacher Report indicates that the French would target the game once morest the Hawks – next Sunday – to tread the field once more. As a reminder, Nic’ missed two of the four meetings of the Sailboats losing streak and saw the other two be truncated by his physical glitches. The reinforcement of the Swiss army knife (well, French suddenly) of the group is therefore certainly awaited impatiently by the whole band of Tyronn Lue.
The Clips are currently sixth in the West and still have a bit of a margin on their closest pursuers, all Blazers, Suns and Warriors. Let us add that of the four defeats of the current series, only that once morest Denver was a real rouste, the others being played with a difference of ten points or less. But still, following a start to the season disturbed by Kawhi Leonard’s difficult return from injury, Paul George’s teammates would be well advised to avoid any form of sporting crisis.
We will carefully follow the end of the recovery and the return to the NBA courts of our friend Nico. And there is no doubt that he will therefore be able to contribute to remaking his Clippers into famous three-masters as fine as birds (Raise high, Santiano).
