James Harden injured, Cavs trust Dennis Schroeder
« I looked at his thumb and it looked like my finger when I broke it. » A victim of a broken ring finger at the very start of the seasonJarrett Allen undoubtedly realized the severity of the injury before anyone else James Harden.
The latter was also the victim of a fracture (without displacement) of the right thumb, clamped during the match against the Knicks. « I knew something was wrong and waited to see if he would continue to play anyway. He talked about it. But that’s how it is. In this league, players fall and you just have to keep going », the pivot continues.
last night, during the loss to the Bucksthe pivot finished as the top scorer on his team (27 points and 11 rebounds), which was denied to the beardsmen, as well as Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. In the absence of James Harden, Dennis Schroder regained the starting spot, the first for him since arriving in Ohio.
And as is often the case when given responsibility, the former Kings player responded with 26 points (8/14 shooting) and 5 assists, most of which he combined well with Jarrett Allen on the pick-and-roll. ” Full confidence in Denis. He’s a veteran. He knows how to run an offense. He led us and was really important in keeping us in the game “, summarizes the staff.
Starless is ready to achieve more
« In my mind, I always thought he had the level of a starting point guard in this league. That’s how I’ve always looked at it. He has done this in the past. If the situation calls for it, we are ready with Dennis, if his article is in order. We need to check this. That was a pretty bad turn », continues Kenny Atkinson regarding the physical warning also regarding the German.
Arriving in the league in 2013, the player drafted by the Hawks (17th overall) has continued to switch between starter and sixth man status since his first steps. With James Harden down or even absent, the big man sees a new chance to shine and replace Donovan Mitchell, mobilized at the 1 position earlier in the season when Darius Garland was sidelined.
So Dennis Schroeder is ready to play any role. ” We were missing three superstars and still fighting. When these three guys are there, I want to influence the game in other areas because we have enough goals. Today I had to take care of it a little more. I played with more freedom. It was great for me, but in the end we lost the match and that’s the most important thing », regrets about the 32-year-old player.
But the veteran appreciates the confidence of his coach, whom he has known since his beginnings in Atlanta. « He is someone who understands what I can bring to the team. There is nothing better than a coach who instills confidence in you and who is honest. With Kenny, I really believe that. And at home, in April and even further in the playoffs, that will help me a lot », term-t-il.
