I stayed relatively quiet this NBA postseason as the big bad injury bug stayed away from the final few rounds. Overall the numbers of games lost to injury or illness per the number of playoff games played (2.62) was the lowest it’s been since the 2018-19 season.

Re: Dragic: Other NBA players to tear their plantar fascia include Malcolm Brogdon, Rip Hamilton, and Pau Gasol. Average missed time for plantar fascia tears in the NBA? Roughly 13 games

Re: Anthony Davis: It sounds like AD has a Grade 2 MCL sprain. The average time lost for these types of injuries is ~22 games. He previously dealt with a MCL sprain in the same knee and missed the final 3 games of the 2012-13 season.

He could possibly play w/ the injury if the tear is on the periphery & doesn’t impact functional movement. But he will still have to manage the associated symptoms (pain, swelling) & there is some risk of worsening the tear.

Hoping this is a low grade hamstring strain. Low grade strains result in average time lost of ~13 days (5 games). Average time lost for an in-season G2 strain jumps to ~30 days (10 games).

Multiple players, including Jrue Holiday & Seth Curry, have undergone in-season surgery for stress-related tibia injuries. Only Rodney McGruder returned in the same season. McGruder underwent his surgery in October and returned to action 139 days later after missing 60 games.

A torn UCL is relatively uncommon in the NBA but the injury did sideline Paul George for 43 games (96 days) last season. The average number of missed games for confirmed UCL sprains in the NBA is about 20 games (~46 days)

The Pelicans say Jaxson Hayes is out at least two weeks after sustaining a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow during Friday’s preseason game against Detroit. More NBA from me:

Key here is they located the source of the clot and were able to address it. Will hopefully eliminate future clots from developing.

More on Kleber: A Grade 3 sprain denotes a rupture of the ligaments of the AC joint resulting in movement of the clavicle (collarbone). A non-surgical approach is most often used but may be needed in some cases. Chris Paul suffered a G3 sprain in 2014 & missed 18 games (37 days).

Re: Curry: Severity of MCL is key. G2 MCL sprains cost a player an average of roughly 21 games (approx. 6 weeks).

Andrew Bynum played through a meniscus tear in the 2010 playoffs and eventually underwent surgery following the title run. The knee remained an issue throughout his career.

Re: Christian Wood: The thumb is a complex joint and the location of the fracture and any possible associated ligament damage will dictate treatment plans and subsequent time lost. (1/3)
