Nicolas Batum destroyed the Rockets this Wednesday, and he only needed 9 minutes to do it. On fire, the Frenchman ended the meeting with 15 points, the fault of a disturbing injury when approaching the playoffs.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think longevity in the NBA, you think above all of stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry or Kevin Durant, who continue to get out of monstrous statistics despite age. We also think of a legend like Chris Paul, who is no longer necessarily at the level but who continues to receive a good playing time with the Spurs.<\/p>\n

At 36, Nicolas Batum also continued his good career on the side of the Clippers, even if his role and his playing time fluctuate according to the opponents. This Wednesday against the Rockets, the Frenchman was particularly to his advantage with 15 points and 3 rebounds in just 9 minutes spent on the ground. On fire, he was forced to go out on injury. His reaction also raised fears of the worst.<\/p>\n

After 17 seasons spent in the NBA, Nicolas Batum knows his body perfectly. So inevitably, when the clippers fans saw him in their heads down, shot down on the bench after its release, they were afraid for the end of the season. The journalists obviously rushed to him in the locker room to get news, and he was reassuring.<\/p>\n

I just spoke to Nicolas Batum in the locker room, he told me that he would be fine.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nicolas Batum this season, it's 3.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 average of average, but above all a positive influence on his teammates. Without putting himself forward, without forcing the game, he knows how to make himself useful and help the clippers on the path of victory. For example, since January 29, it has been running 51% success behind the arc. Its precision and accuracy will be important in playoffs.<\/p>\n

No need to play a lot or blacken the stats sheet to make yourself useful on NBA parquet. Nicolas Batum regularly proves it and his absence would have been strongly detrimental when approaching the playoffs.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n
