Week 17 Injury Watch - Playoffs are near!

TEAM	INJURIES
	T.J. Warren (Foot), Spencer Dinwiddie (Knee), Jalen Lecque (Waived in NBA), Abdel Nader (Knee), Myles Turner (Ankle), It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Atlanta, with them losing their GM as well as taking a tumble down the standings. They continue to be without 3 key pieces in Warren, Turner, and Dinwiddie. Perhaps focusing on the draft and recouping for next is the best option, but they still do hold a firm grasp on the last play-in spot in the East as the season comes to a close.
	NONE All is well in Brooklyn. They look to nail down the little things as they compete for a title in the postseason.
	NONE Boston is getting healthy at the right time. Can they make some noise in the playoffs?
	Jamal Murray (Knee), The Hornets are without Jamal Murray for the rest of the year, which is a big blow, but luckily they have the depth and talent to mitigate some of the impact. In Embiid, we trust.
	Taurean Prince (Ankle), Unfortunately for the tank race, Prince is the only one out this week for Chicago. Chicago will be looking to toy around witn their new pieces acquired at the deadline down the stretch.
	P.J. Dozier (Groin), Deni Avdija (Ankle), Oh, that’s me! 2 of Cleveland’s trade-deadline acquisitions don’t like the idea of playing for the Cavs, so they have decided to sit out as long as possible.
	NONE The Mavericks are once again in the mix of things at the top of the West. How high can DeRozan and Cp3 take them. Everyone will be holding their breath hoping that Paul can stay healthy the rest of the way.
	Jonathan Isaac (), Isaac has missed the entire season, no news here. As the season comes to a close, Denver figures to be in the Western Conference play-in. We’ll see how much of a difference Brogdon can make in the Mile-High.
	NONE Detroit has been a whirlwind of activity all season, but now has a deep and talented squad around their prized up-and-comer in Ja Morant. As of now they’re all healthy and they’ll be praying it stays that way.
	Dante Exum (Calf), The Warriors suffer a critical blow with Exum being out… just kidding. Dante is an afterthought as the Warriors focus on internal improvement and eyeing the draft.
	JJ Redick (Heel), The Rockets are missing their sniper as they look to see just how far Nikola Jokic can take them this season.
	Malik Fitts (Waived in NBA), The Pacers mourn the loss of Malik Fitts this week, and hope he comes back as soon as possible. As of now, Naji Marshall will be expected to replace his burdensome role as backup bench cheerleader.
	Jaylen Brown (Wrist), Victor Oladipo (Knee), Rodions Kurucs (Waived in NBA), It’s been a rough season for the Clippers between fluid management and constant injury problems. That hasn’t stopped them from dominating the Western Conference, but losing Jaylen Brown and Victor Oladipo for the rest of the year could be the difference between a run-of-the-mill playoff appearance and a title hunt.
	James Wiseman (Knee), The Lakers are looking forward to next year in anticipation of Wiseman making his return. In the meantime, there’s reason for optimism witn the young core that’s currently playing.
	Sean McDermott (Foot), Kelly Oubre (Wrist), Big changes took place for the Grizz at the deadline. We’ll see how much that impacts their standing in the playoff seeding race or if they drop out completely.
	NONE Nobody’s sneaking out to the Miami clubs this week. All players currently accounted for. For now.
	Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Foot), The Bucks are as dominant as ever, but losing SGA hurts. Luckily, they’re able to promote 6th man Trae Young to a starting position to replace him. Oh the riches.
	Cam Reddish (Achilles), Larry Nance Jr. (Thumb), 2 key pieces for Minnesota, it’s been a rough year availablity wise for both Nance and Reddish. Hopefully it doesn’t continue through next season for the T-Wolves.
	Klay Thompson (Knee), Pascal Siakam (Shoulder), 2 big pieces out at the moment for New Orleans. We won’t fully know what this team is capable of until next year, after the splashes they made this year over the course of the season.
	NONE Full-strength Knicks! Haven’t been able to say that too often this season. Is Wiggins an upgrade iver Drummond? Does he mesh with D’Lo and Spida? New York is a team to keep an eye on.
	NONE OKC is all set for it’s title run. Someone tell them it’s illegal to start two D. Green’s. And start LeBron at PG. Jussssst kidding. Good luck to the Steph Curry’s, Damian Lillard’s, and Kemba Walker’s of the NLL.
	Thomas Bryant (Knee), Orlando shouldn’t miss Thomas Bryant too much, as their concerns lie on improving the team and getting younger this offseason. Not so much on racking up the wins down the stretch.
	NONE Barring Rudy Gobert spurring another NLL pandemic in the closing weeks of the regular season, Philly should be all healthy for the stretch run.
	Marquese Chriss (Leg), Phoenix is just praying that KD stays healthy. That’s all that matters. Rumor has it that Pennywise has reserved a spot in the 1st pew of his local church for 23 hours a day.
	Anzejs Pasecniks (Waived in NBA), Jarrett Culver (Ankle), Portland isn’t worried about Pasecnodksbcidnslsjksbsk making his return. He’s focused on how much terror Drummond and Ayton can instill on the rest of the league.
	NONE AD back? Check. LaMelo back? Check. Everyone else? Check. Look out for the finally healthy Spurs.
	Dylan Windler (Knee), Rodney Hood (Hand), Despite JWalk reportedly offering to pay for all of his players to take mid-season trips to Cancun in an effort to lose out, only Windler and Hood took him up on the offer.
	NONE Everyone’s healthy in Toronto, but is it enough to stop their recent slide? The last play-in slot is within sight as Atlanta continues to tumble right beside them.
	Markelle Fultz (Knee), Zach Collins (Ankle), Mitchell Robinson (Foot), 3 young pieces out for the Jazz. But the Vegas odd predict that the Wall and Booker tandem will drop a combined 87 points and 33 assists per game this week. So much for tanking.
