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:
Kyrie Irving exited Monday's game with a sprained left knee and did not return, he will be closely monitored as he was helped off the court, unable to put any weight on the injured knee.
Luke Doncic is listed as questionable with a right knee contusion, Doncic has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report due to a lingering calf injury, but he now appears to be working through a right knee injury that he may have picked up during Sunday's win against the Clippers.
Rui Hachimura will be out at least one week with left patellar tendinopathy, he sustained the injury this past Thursday vs the Timberwolves.
Austin Reaves is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game vs the Pelicans with a calf issue, Reaves missed Sunday's game and his status remains uncertain heading into Tuesday, the team should have a better idea of his availability after he goes through shootaround and pregame warmups.
Jalen Suggs underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee and will be out indefinitely, his return will be based on rehab and is expected to make a full recovery.
Joel Embiid has been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to constant knee inflammation and has been deemed medically unable to play the rest of the way, he will explore various rehab and treatment options to try and be ready for next season.
Tyrese Maxey took a fall in the third quarter of Monday's game and exited without returning, tests revealed he avoided major injury but has been on the injury list with his back before and will likely miss some time.
Domantas Sabonis will be re-evaluated in one week after he was diagnosed with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, Sabonis sustained the injury in the first quarter of Saturday's game vs the Rockets, playing just one minute before exiting the game for good, an MRI confirmed only a minor strain of his hamstring, Sabonis will still miss the entirety of the Kings' upcoming-four game week, and quite likely, additional time beyond that.
Norman Powell has been ruled out of Tuesday's matchup with a hamstring injury, Powell made his comeback from a five-game absence streak due to a left knee injury during Sunday's loss to the Lakers.
Ben Simmons is in line for a second straight absence due to left knee soreness, an issue that popped up shortly before Sunday's tipoff.
Andrew Wiggins did not play Monday's game against the Wizards with an ankle injury, he has now missed the past three games.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. did not play Monday's game against the Wizards with a right ankle sprain which was the second straight game missed.
Robert Williams III was ruled out of Monday's game vs Philadelphia 76ers with a left knee sprain, it will be his sixth straight missed game in another injury-plagued season for the young center.
John Collins did not play Sunday due to lower back injury management. Collins had returned on Friday after missing three straight games with this injury.
