NAME | TEAM | INJURY | TIMETABLE TO RETURN | ANALYSIS |
Kevin Durant | BKN | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | Durant is not coming back this season despite videos circulating of him being able to shoot with a full range of motion. Taurean Prince will benefit most along with Joe Harris with Durant out. |
Stephen Curry | GSW | Hand | DAY TO DAY | Curry returned to action on March 5th, but now he's sick and he missed his last game. If he sits, Andrew Wiggins will be the top shooting option and reserves such as Damion Lee and Ky Bowman will see more minutes. |
John Wall | WSH | Achilles | OUT FOR THE SEASON | We were told a couple of weeks ago that he wasn't close and he's starting to run out of time and the Wizards aren't contending. Shabazz Napier and Ish Smith (if healthy) will run the point for the Wizards. |
Klay Thompson | GSW | Knee | OUT FOR THE SEASON | We won't see Thompson on the court this season. Andrew Wiggins , Eric Paschall and Damion Lee will pick up more minutes for the rest of the season. |
