The NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the 2025 lottery results were announced as scheduled. The Dallas Mavericks won the No. 1 pick with a 1.8% chance. This is the first time the Mavericks have won the No. 1 pick in 44 years of team history. According to NBA famous reporter Tim, the Mavericks will not consider trading the No. 1 pick and plan to use the No. 1 pick to choose Duke's genius forward Flag. At the same time, NBA famous reporter Sam followed up and reported that Irving was very excited about his partner Flag. Irving and Flag are both Duke blood, and he is eager to play the role of his junior leader. Luca's departure is certainly a pity, but the Mavericks have three top picks with Irving + Dark Eyebrow + Flag, and the road to rise is just around the corner! In addition, the NBA has a lot of important information. Here is a summary, hoping to help everyone better understand the NBA.

Tatum's successful operation

From the official news of the Celtics, Tatum has successfully completed the right Achilles tendon rupture repair surgery and is expected to be able to recover completely, with no return schedule yet. From the moment Tatum fell to the ground at the final quarter of G4, many people pointed out that he suffered a serious injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon, and countless people hoped that he could escape this disaster, but the bad news that should come finally came! According to the reporter of the Celtics team, the medical team immediately decided to operate after confirming that Tatum's Achilles tendon ruptured, which could bring more ideal prognostic results. Tatum is known for his decisive killing kings. He has played 706 games since entering the league, with the most in the league during the same period. His playing time reached 4,725 minutes in the first eight seasons of his career, ranking third in NBA history, but he was seriously injured at the peak of 27 years old. I wish him a return to the king!

Curry's injury update

The Warriors lag behind the Timberwolves 1-3, and their lives are hanging on the line. Curry's injury update! According to official news from the Warriors, Curry will continue to miss the series G5 due to a hamstring strain, and he will be re-evaluated tomorrow. Subsequently, US media followed up and reported that Curry's recovery progress was in line with expectations and he might make a comeback in G6 as soon as possible. Of course, there is a prerequisite for this, that is, the Warriors can win a away game in G5 and create conditions for Curry to make a comeback. Warriors coach Kerr made the statement clear in an interview. He said bluntly: We are in a difficult situation now, but Curry’s healthy decisions must not be too hasty. As long as he can win the G5, the series can be reversed! The Warriors really can't let the 37-year-old Curry bet on his career to win this round of the series. After all, Durant had a hasty comeback when the team was behind 1-3 and suffered a serious injury from a torn Achilles tendon.

NBA is about to expand its troops

NBA President Xiao Hua recently revealed on a podcast that the league will meet with all NBA team owners in July to formally discuss the feasibility plan to expand the NBA to 32 teams. The last NBA expansion dates back to 2004. In the blink of an eye, the development of the NBA league and the soaring market value have far exceeded expectations. The expansion of the army meets the needs of many labor and capital parties. At the same time, Xiao Hua said that Seattle and Las Vegas both showed great interest in the NBA expansion. It is worth mentioning that James has always been eager to own an NBA team, but according to NBA league rules, active stars cannot hold shares in NBA teams. If the NBA expansion is put on the agenda, this may invisibly affect James' career planning.

Antesco has become a hot item

NBA has not entered the offseason yet, and Antesco has become a big shark in the player trading market. According to NBA famous reporter Shams and NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, Antetokounmpo is open to playing with the Bucks for the first time in his career. He will complete a meeting with the Bucks next month to discuss the future! Antetokounmpo is in his 30th year of playing, with 3 years left in the contract with $175 million. If Antetokounmpo wants to leave the Bucks, he will definitely be a hot item, and many teams in the league will rush forward! According to US media, many young Western teams such as the Rockets and Spurs are ideal buyers of Antetokounmpo, with rich chips. Texas has no state tax and is also very attractive to Antetokounmpo. The west is already wild enough. If Antetokounmpo dares to venture into the west, I respect him as a man, and the situation of strong west and weak east will be further intensified. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
