That’s the good news of the day, a few days before the start of the Playoffs: Montrezl Harrell is back in Orlando. After being away for almost a month from the bubble, the candidate for the sixth man of the year trophy is back with his team. It was the news that Clippers fans needed.
It’s official, Montrezl Harrell is back in the bubble. He had left him on July 17 to watch over his sick grandmother. On August 4, he announced his death in a tweet and finally decided to return to Orlando yesterday. And it is a Montrezl more determined than ever who has returned. He has already announced it, he will give everything to honor the one he considered his best friend. And when a player like Monstatrezz makes an announcement like that, you can be sure that he will give himself 300% to keep his word. The one who was already the soul (with Patrick Beverley) of these Clippers who do not let go will return to inject a particular energy into the roster, which it has greatly missed since the resumption. It will just go through the COVID-19 + quarantine test box, and Trezz can then join his teammates for the start of serious things.
I’m back!!!!!!!!

If all goes well (no positive virus result), Harrell should be back for the Playoffs. The Clippers would therefore recover a player who was greatly missed in the interior of the team. The sixth man in the Clips is this season at 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, all at 58% shooting. His return will do all the more good as until now, the rotations on the pivot position behind Ivica Zubac were done with… JaMychal Green or Patrick Patterson, given the fairly inexistent contribution of Joakim Noah. We even start hoping for a comeback for the last game of seedings against OKC on the side of Doc Rivers, but normally it’s in the direction of Playoffs for Trezz. This is also the only point of doubt for the Clippers: when and how will he return? After three and a half weeks without collective training with the team, it is possible that he returns lacking rhythm. But hey, knowing the guy, no doubt that he will make the effort to come back in good and due form.
After losing his grandmother, Montrezl Harrell made the choice to return to the bubble to help his team as the Playoffs approach. Not surprising when you know the temperament of the pivot, who has never gotten into the habit of giving up in the face of adversity. Monstatrezz is back, the defenses may start to worry.
