The wave of injuries is coming! Six players fell down overnight, and the star attendance rate fell below 60%. Cole hit the nail on the head.

On November 19, multiple injury reports appeared in the NBA overnight. Many NBA stars and role players fell down. Less than a month after the start of the season, the wave of injuries hit, which was indeed unexpected. According to NBA news, the Bucks' Antetokounmpo, the Spurs' Benyama, Castle, and McLaurin, the Clippers' Jones Jr., and the Trail Blazers' Holiday have all suffered injuries of varying degrees and will need to be absent for a period of time.

Antetokounmpo of the Bucks was injured in the last game against the Cavaliers. At that time, he fell to the ground after a confrontation and then touched his groin. He felt very uncomfortable and immediately left the field for examination. He then tried to continue playing the game, but still felt very uncomfortable and could not persist, so he returned to the locker room. After the game, the MRI result was positive. He had a strained groin and would be out for 1 to 2 weeks. Antetokounmpo's significance to the Bucks is self-evident. This season he averaged 31.2+10.8+6.8 per game and is a regular season MVP candidate.

Then came the Spurs, who fell 3 people overnight. One is Bunyama, the star player. He felt unwell after the game against the Warriors, and then the examination revealed that he had strained his left calf and would need to miss 2-4 weeks. Wenbanyama didn’t know which round he was injured, and he didn’t feel well until after the game and went to check. Then there is defender Castle, who suffered a left hip flexor strain and needs to be reviewed in 1-2 weeks. The third one is McLaughlin. He was injured in training. He strained his right hamstring and needs to rest for 4-6 weeks.

Wenban Yama is the Spurs' top star this season, averaging 26.2+12.9+4 assists+1 steals+3.6 blocks per game. Many people believe that as long as Bunyama can be healthy and play 65 games, he will basically be booked as DPOY. If the Spurs have a good record this year, he may even compete for MVP. But now, it seems that the biggest obstacle to Bunyama is injuries. According to statistics, Bunyama has missed 48 games so far in his career, and his attendance rate is worrying. Castle is an important backcourt core, averaging 17.3 points, 7.5 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game. McLaurin is a third-team player for the Spurs, averaging 3.5 points and 1.2 assists per game.

Then there is Jones Jr. of the Clippers. He has sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee and needs to be absent for 6 weeks and then be re-examined. This is the third starter the Clippers have lost. The first is Leonard. His injury has not healed and it is not yet known when he will return. The second one is Bill, who suffered a hip fracture and is out for the season. Now the Clippers are completely relying on Harden to support them, and Harden's good condition is wasted. Then the sixth player to fall overnight was Holiday. He had a calf strain, but it was relatively minor. He was definitely absent from the game against the Suns today. In addition, Yang Hansen was recalled today. The team is short of manpower and he is expected to get a chance to play.

The wave of injuries is coming! Six players fell down in one night, and the star attendance rate fell below 60%. Cole hit the nail on the head! Why does the wave of injuries come so early? According to reporter Tom Haberstroh's statistics, the attendance rate of stars this season has dropped below 60%, and the latest data is 56%. This data used to only appear at the end of the season, and this season has not started for less than a month. This phenomenon is worrying. Specifically, NBA stars have missed more than 200 games this season, twice as many as the same period last year! Therefore, what Warriors coach Kerr said when talking about this matter is very pertinent. He said that the increase in soft tissue injuries in the NBA is due to the accelerated pace of the game and the intensive schedule. He also gave an example of the Pacers, which reached the tiebreaker in last season's finals. Because of Haliburton's injury, this season's 1 win and 13 losses were at the bottom of the league. The league must pay attention to this, because the stars are the league's most valuable assets.
