Cade Cunningham Injury Update: A pneumothorax (collapsed lung) is much more common in contact sports like the NFL but there have been several cases in the NBA including Gerald Wallace, CJ McCollum (2x), & Terrence Jones.
Average time lost? 26 days (~10.8 games)
English
@YourManDevine @omarisankofa Average time lost for nondescript calf strains is roughly 16 days but there’s a ton of variance. The time lost for calf strains in the NBA is roughly 2-3 weeks, but 1:3 cases will miss more than 20 days and 1:5 cases will miss more than 30 days.
English
@omarisankofa @InStreetClothes: Sorry to bug you — is there an average return timetable for Grade 1 strains? I know you've published them for Grade 2 and Grade 3 before.

Pistons announce Isaiah Stewart suffered a Grade 1 left calf strain and will be reevaluated in a week. He’s missed one game and is out tonight.

@SpikeEskin Reemphasizes what I said earlier. Likely looking at severity of sprain and/or possible volar plate or associated tendon involvement. Don’t want this to become a chronic issue or result in functional limitations. As silly as it sounds the pinkie is crucial in shooting success.
English
Tyrese Maxey Update: Interested to see what else the medical team is evaluating. Most pinkie finger sprains in the NBA do not result in missed time (AVG games lost <1, AVG days lost 2.75). Could be looking at severity of sprain and/or possible volar plate or tendon involvement.

I love closing injuries in the injury database, especially significant ones. Welcome back Jayson Tatum.

New Joel Embiid Injury Update: Oblique strains are far more common in sports like baseball but do occur in the NBA. NBA players to suffer the injury include Desmond Bane & Dame Lillard. In the NBA, the average time lost for in-season oblique strains is 4.2 game (~11.6 days).

@MilesDentrell Midfoot sprains can be tricky and he’s not outside the average time lost

Would be curious if there's a difference in average time missed between dominant vs. non-dominant hand.

James Harden Injury News: The thumb is made up of 2 phalanges. Harden’s break involves the distal phalanx (tip of the thumb) & is non-displaced. This is a best case scenario for a quick return. Players to suffer this injury & avoid surgery miss an average of 6.5 games (~17 days).

@InStreetClothes Does dominant hand also determine how long players miss?

Took some time off to hit the slopes and unplug. After extensive research I can confidently say the Dallas Stars Blackout jersey is the best hockey sweater for skiing.
