Welcome back Nikola Topić! The Thunder guard played 17 minutes off the bench Monday for OKC's G-League Affiliate. It was his first game back since undergoing surgery and chemo for testicular cancer. I hope he gets to make his NBA debut soon.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

New Ja Morant Injury Update: Elbow UCL injuries are commonplace in baseball (think Tommy John) but not in the NBA. Average missed time lost for a mild to moderate UCL elbow sprain? ~11. 8 games (~22 days).

Giannis Injury News: Important to remember the soleus is part of the calf muscle complex. His eventual MRI will determine severity of the strain & the exact muscle/area involved & that will dictate time lost. He missed 8 games (24 days) earlier this year with a soleus strain.

The Rockets confirmed center Steven Adams is dealing with a Grade 3 ankle sprain, an injury marked by a complete tear of at least one of the ankle ligaments. The average time lost for G3 ankle sprains in the NBA is 62.9 days (~28 games).

Jimmy Butler (36) is the second oldest NBA player to tear his ACL since the start of the 2005-06 season. Chris Andersen tore his ACL during the 2016-17 season at age 38.

Miami has determined Tyler Herro's rib injury is a costochondral injury, involving the cartilage that attaches the bony ribs to the sternum (breastbone). Costochondral injuries are often very painful and limiting. The average time lost for these injuries in the NBA is ~13 days.

BIG Domantas Sabonis Injury News: Treatment options for meniscus tears are dictated by location of the tear. For a true repair to be possible, the damage has to occur to a specific region of the disc. Otherwise a removal (meniscectomy) may be the only option.

Just watched the Trae Young injury. As Mo Gueye falls into Young, the impact places a valgus stress through Young’s knee. This mechanism of injury places strain on the inside aspect of the knee, particularly the medial collateral ligament (MCL). Interested to see what the MRI shows.

Massive LeBron Injury Update: Sciatica occurs when the longest nerve in the body becomes impinged often due to a disc in the lower back or a muscle in the glute region.

Scoot Henderson Injury News: Hearing the injury described as a tear and accompanied by a lengthy recovery window suggests a Grade 2+ or higher strain. Location of the reported tear (muscle belly Vs tendon) will influence recovery.

Catching up on the flurry of NBA injury news. Brandon Clarke is undergoing surgery for knee synovitis, a condition that occurs when a layer of soft tissue that acts as a cushion between spaces within the joint becomes inflamed. A synovectomy (removal) seems likely. Timeline TBD.

If Haliburton did indeed tear his Achilles, that would be the 8th Achilles tear of the season. The previous high was 5 (14-15). The total doesn't include Thanasis Antetokounmpo who tore his in the offseason or prospect Jalon Moore who was injured in a recent pre-draft workout.

More NBA injury news: According to ESPN, Jaylen Brown played w/ a partial meniscus tear. Hard to pinpoint exactly when it occurred. 1st signs of a knee issue surfaced in Feb. when he missed time w/ knee swelling. He missed 12 total games moving forward w/ what was described as pain or impingement.

The latest update on Aaron Gordon is sadly a big one. A Grade 2 strain is often referred to as a partial or incomplete tear. Average time lost for G2 hamstring strains in the NBA is ~31 days (11.2 games). Gordon’s 2020 season also ended early following a strain of the same hammy.

Jayson Tatum becomes the sixth Achilles tear in the NBA since summer league and that doesn't include two-way guard Dru Smith. More here: instreetclothes.com/2025/05/13/u...

Steph is dealing with a Grade 1 strain. If he misses the average time lost, a return in Game 6 or Game 7 is plausible.

I have recorded 125 various injury entries for Steph Curry in his NBA career. This will be the first hamstring-related injury of note.
