Hitting his foot during a steal caused a hip fracture, and Bill was reimbursed due to injury! The 36-year-old Harden's life is really hard. He has had problems with important teammates for 12 consecutive years. Not only is there a high probability that he will lose the championship, but his record of reaching the playoffs for 16 consecutive years may not be maintained.

Bill will be reimbursed for the season

According to ESPN reporter Shams, Bill suffered a hip fracture and will undergo surgery to determine his reimbursement for the season.

His agent followed up and revealed that Bill was injured in the game against his old club Suns. At that time, he tried to pounce forward after stealing the ball, but he stepped directly into the air. The impact of the kick caused a hip fracture.

Harden is really suffering

As the most important signing in the offseason, Bill is regarded by the Clippers as an upgraded version of Powell. Tyronn Lue has also publicly stated that all the team's tactics revolve around Kawhi, Harden and Bill.

In addition to Bill, who is reimbursed, another giant, Kawhi Kaguya, has only played 6 games so far this season, and his return date has not yet been determined. Harden has once again entered a single-core leadership state.

I have to say that Harden's life is really hard. Since the 14-15 season, Harden has had problems with important teammates every season for 12 consecutive years.

14-15 season: second in the Western Conference when Howard was injured in the regular season, and then the two core players Beverley and Motel were eliminated in the playoffs. Warcraft was accidentally injured by his teammates in the first game of the Western Conference Finals. He has been fighting with injuries since then, and finally stopped in the Western Conference Finals;

15-16 season: third Lawson, the giant, changed from a heavy-hitting new signing to an alcoholic with addiction. His record declined, Harden and Warcraft were at odds, coach McHale fired early, and the Western Conference was eliminated in the eighth round in the first round. The season ended hastily;

16-17 season: The third in the Western Conference rebounded strongly, defeated the MVP Westbrook Thunder in the first round, and the team's core insider Nene was eliminated in the semifinals 2-4.

17-18 season: The 17-18 season ranked first in the league and became the only team in the league that could compete with the Universe. As a result, Paul strained his hamstring and was absent from G6 and G7 of the Western Conference Finals. The Rockets, who were leading 3-2, were reversed and unfortunately eliminated;

18-19 Season: Paul missed the regular season and was eliminated again by the Warriors 2-4 in the Western Conference semifinals. The "gun team" broke up;

19-20 season: Westbrook teamed up with Harden to perform "brother basketball". As a result, Westbrook suffered a quadriceps tear. The paranoid "Death Five" also brought an end to Harden's Rockets career.

20-21 season: Teaming up with Durant and Irving to create a historical three offensive giants, but ended up with a hamstring injury, Irving was also stepped aside, Durant stepped on the line with a three-pointer, and the Big Three briefly missed the championship. It broke after one year;

21-22 season: Teamed up with Embiid to form a comeback "OK combination", but Embiid was injured in the playoffs;

22-23 season: Embiid was injured again in the playoffs, and Harden's 76ers career ended.

23-24 season: Teamed up with Kawhi and George to challenge for the championship again, but Kawhi only played 2 games in the playoffs;

24-25 season: Kawhi underwent knee surgery before the season started, and did not return until the end of the season. The playoff performance was terrible, and the team was eliminated early again;

25-26 season: Another luxury battleship was formed, but just two weeks into the season, Bill's hip surgery was reimbursed for the season.

Since 22 years, Harden has been teammates with all of the most injury-prone players in the NBA, namely Kawhi who missed 36% of the games, Embiid who missed 49% of the games, Ben Simmons who missed 56.1% of the games, and Bill who missed 66% of the games.

Under this circumstance, Harden still maintains the record of leading the team to the playoffs for 16 consecutive years. Since entering the league in 2009, Harden has never missed the playoffs.

Now faced with Bill being reimbursed, Kawhi Kawhi's return date yet to be determined, and the Clippers being in a mess, Harden has to face the heavy task of leading a single-core team to the playoffs.

But what is different from the past is that Harden is no longer young at 36 years old, and he does not have last season's assistant Powell beside him. Whether he can maintain this 16-year-old record depends on how much gas Harden still has in the tank.
