Otega Oweh’s torn Achilles marks the 3rd straight year an OKC rookie will miss the entire regular season due to injury. Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topić tore their ACLs in back-to-back years, while Chet Holmgren also missed his rookie season (22–23) with a Lisfranc injury.

Injury Update on Maxime Raynaud: A patellar subluxation is significantly different than a knee dislocation. Recovery will focus on strengthening the area to reduce the odds of a recurrence. Average time lost for in-season patellar subluxations in the NBA is ~14 days

Unsurprising to see a spike in soft tissue injuries, especially lower extremities strains, during the NBA preseason. Studies have shown training camp and preseason action has the highest rate of game-loss injuries when compared with regular season and postseason injuries.

Former Wolves executive Robby Sikka has developed a new app called SMART that helps people better understand their health and connect to care. Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins are among the investors in this technology. getsmart.app/

The Hornets say Kon Knueppel suffered a left hamstring injury and Grant Williams suffered a right hamstring injury during offseason on-court activity and will miss the preseason. Both will be re-evaluated during the first week of the regular season.

The timeline means the procedure was a true repair and not a meniscectomy. Recovery is longer but reduces the chances of long-term complications or issues.
Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe sustained a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee during an off-season workout last week. Sharpe underwent successful surgery yesterday to repair the meniscus. The procedure was performed by Dr. Kristofer Jones at the UCLA Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine. Sharpe will begin his rehabilitation immediately and will be reevaluated in six months.

Russell Westbrook finishes his career w/ 70 injury entries in the NBA Injury Database, including 15 ankle sprains, 2 hand fractures, & multiple knee surgeries. In all he missed 105 games due to injury or illness. My favorite @russwest44 injury story is watching him return 5 days after suffering a zygomatic arch fracture that left him with a visible dent in his skull. Congratulations on a great career Brodie.
