No! Latest injury report on Hu Jinqiu! He is the core player of the Chinese men's basketball team.

No.

This is basketball, not combat sports.

In the recent Guangsha home game where they defeated Ningbo 87-72, Hu Jinqiu was aggressively challenged by Lutubula while holding the ball in the final quarter, rolling on the ground in pain and exiting the match immediately.

Fortunately, initial check results indicate that Hu Jinqiu's injury is not severe; bones and ligaments are fine, and there is no fluid accumulation or bleeding.

So far this season, Hu Jinqiu has played 26 games for Guangsha, averaging 25.8 minutes per game with 16.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists, and a shooting percentage of 66.8%. During the recent World Cup qualifying second window, Hu Jinqiu scored 20 points and 12 rebounds against Japan and 15 points and 6 rebounds against Chinese Taipei.

Hu Jinqiu is undoubtedly the most outstanding and stable player in the current Chinese men's basketball team, and his importance is evident, so there is widespread concern about his physical condition.

It is worth noting that before Hu Jinqiu, Guangsha had already lost their perimeter core Sun Minghui, who remains sidelined due to a partial tear of the right anterior talofibular ligament and injuries to the right ankle medial triangular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament.

To return to the topic, last summer Hu Jinqiu helped Guangsha win their first championship in team history, then averaged 16.5 points and 9.2 rebounds near double-double to lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the Asian Cup runner-up and was selected for the All-Star team, followed by playing in the National Games and the first window of World Cup qualifiers... He has been continuously active without rest, and he needs a break, even if it means stopping due to injury.

The current CBA standings are as follows:

Shanghai (22-4), Guangsha (21-5), Guangdong (18-8), Shandong (17-9), Beijing (17-9), Shenzhen (15-11), Qingdao (15-11), Zhejiang (15-11), Liaoning (14-12), Ningbo (13-13), Shanxi (13-13), and Beikong (12-14).

As the defending champion, Guangsha faces greater challenges this year, especially with Shanghai, strengthened by Zhang Zhenlin and Whiteside, coming strong.
