I figured I'd start a thread for those of us who are too lazy to always scroll through the forum and find the appropriate team thread to post injury updates in.

The major recent ones I know of are Jeff Teague being out 2-4 weeks with a knee sprain and Reggie Jackson out 6-8 weeks with a Grade III left ankle sprain.

Clippers are plagued with injuries. Four important pieces of the team missing, Gallo and Beverley indefinitely AFAIK while the more recent ones are Teodosic again with the same foot injury, and Griffin with a concussion during the game vs Warriors the other night. Teodosic should return by the end of the week while Griffin is still questionable.

I really think the NBA grind is getting to Teo's body. There's no doubt that Euro leagues are tough and among the best when it comes to how the game is played but the NBA requires so much more of players physically, especially perimeter players. He's jumping in at thirty and playing heavy minutes. Never played in the NBA before this year. Plus all those national team minutes he's logged. I mean just think of how much he physically has to do to escape and beat NBA athletes. Every play. Every game. That takes a huge toll, especially on a first year player. And he's playing in a Conference and division full of a wide open style of play.
I hope this foot doesn't become a thing and that he can become stronger and more durable as his NBA career goes on.

NBA season is actually less taxing on players bodies compared to EL + NT schedule that guys like Teodosic have endured. You actually have an offseason when you can regenerate, heal, and get in shape. European guys like Teodosic on average get a week or so off, inbetween their seasons. That is just insane.
The overall number of games might be around the same (30 EL regular season + playoffs + Domestic/Regional leagues 30 - 50 games depending on the country, domestic cups etc). Still the intensity of practices and number of them is much bigger than in the NBA.
So yes, in season might be a little bit easier on Euro guys to play in Europe since there is more room between each individual games, but overall wear on the bodies with each passing year increases exponentially since they never rest. Once you get used to the tempo in NBA, that offseason does wonders for you. Just look at Pau, Scola, Nowitzki all those guys and how they stayed healthy in their late 30s. There would be no chance they could've made it that far in European leagues...

You're missing the point. The average NBA player these days is 6'7". An incredibly athletic 6'7". You add that to the wide open style of play in the Western Conference, that's a lot of ground to cover every game and he has to do so while using every bit of his physical abilities every single play. That means having to maneuver around long limbs by jumping in the air when passing, using fakes, using stepbacks and hesitation dribbles, etc. Do you have any idea the physical toll that takes on you?
Now imagine if Pau and those other players a) hadn't been in the league consistently since their early 20s and b) were wing players. Ever notice how all of them -other than Pau for a year or two- played their entire career in the West? They wouldn't have lasted in the East. Especially not if they hadn't come over so early.
The exact same thing happened to Sergio last year. A guy who had actually played in the NBA early on. So imagine a guy like Teo who never has, with all of that mileage on his legs already. Point guard is the most physically demanding position other than small forward.
The only other point guard I can remember coming over so late is Prigioni, and he seems to be a freak of nature in the way he aged.

Kawhi is injured again. This time it's a partial tear in his shoulder. Luckily it's the left but still.

Don't underestimate the length of the NBA game as opposed to that of Fiba. A top player probably averages almost 10 minutes more a game in the NBA than in Fiba. All those extra minutes multiplied by games and years add up.

I think one thing which may help Teodosic physically is that he is more of a perimeter-oriented point guard. He's going to the basket even less than he did in Europe and that will save his body from some of the abuse that other point guards experience in the NBA. But even so, he still has to do everything CHBB outlined which is difficult enough.

Both DeMarcus Cousins and Mike Conley are out for the season. Shame.

I think the Andre Roberson injury is a actually more impactful than both of those. Memphis was headed for the lottery and the Pelicans were not a serious threat while Oklahoma City which has won 15 of its last 20 games appears to have figured it out and now just lost its best defender.

Damn I didn't even know about that. That one looked painful. Huge loss but luckily they still have athletic guys like Dozier (who is 6'6"), Ferguson, and Hamilton. We'll see if any of them can be legit defenders. If not then there are plenty of athletic wings they could bring in or make a trade for eventually.
Actually, you know who would be a perfect fit? Justin Anderson. And he's a better offensive player.
And on the plus side, Grant can be a hell of a defender when he wants to be.

Bendera138 could be a username, a code name, or even a fictional character. With limited information, it's hard to pinpoint specifics. Perhaps Bendera138 is a clandestine operative, adept at covert operations, navigating through digital landscapes or real-world intrigues with finesse. Alternatively, it might be a gamer, renowned for skill and strategy, dominating virtual battlefields with precision and cunning. Bendera138 could also symbolize unity and strength, reminiscent of a flag (bendera in Indonesian), with "138" hinting at significance or sequence. Whatever the interpretation, Bendera138 carries an air of mystery and potency, embodying a narrative waiting to unfold.
