Staying on top of NBA injury updates using SICscore.com insights is crucial for fans, fantasy managers and sports bettors alike, especially as the season heats up. Here are some key player insights below:
Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a left calf strain. He has been sidelined since February 2, missing six consecutive games. Antetokounmpo participated in Wednesday's practice, indicating a potential return. If he remains out, forward Bobby Portis is expected to continue benefiting, having averaged 18.1 points and 11.1 rebounds in games without Antetokounmpo this season.
Josh Hart has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to patellofemoral syndrome in his right knee. This condition, often referred to as runner's knee, is characterized by pain at the front of the knee and around the kneecap. Hart has been a pivotal player for the Knicks this season, averaging 37.8 minutes per game over the team's first 53 games. This will mark his first missed game of the season, highlighting his importance to the team's rotation.
OG Anunoby Has been cleared to practice after missing the final five games before the All-Star break with a right foot sprain, he's currently day-to-day but there's a chance he could be available Thursday vs the Bulls.
Jalen Suggs will remain out Thursday with a quadriceps injury when the Magic resume their season vs Atlanta, Suggs is set to miss his tenth straight game with this issue and has overall missed 20 of their last 21 games with an additional back injury.
Lowry has been ruled out with a hip injury vs Boston when the 76ers resume their season on Thursday, Lowry hasn't practiced since the team returned to practice and is set to miss his third straight game with the hip ailment.
Victor Wembanyama was listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns due to an illness. On Thursday it was then announced he is expected to miss the rest of the regular season with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, a form of a blood clot, the Spurs however, believe this is an isolated condition. This comes shortly after his participation in his first NBA All-Star Game over the weekend. In his absence, the Spurs may rely on players like Sandro Mamukelashvili, Bismack Biyombo, and Jeremy Sochan to fill the void in the paint.
