Bilal Coulibaly, Washington Wizards
March 2025
Coulibaly is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a hamstring injury, potentially sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
The 20-year-old guard suffered the injury against the Raptors, and with Washington’s season finale in 4.5 weeks, he may not return this season. He has averaged 12.3 points and 3.4 assists in his second year.
Cam Thomas, Brooklyn Nets
March 2025
Thomas is unlikely to return this season after suffering a strained left hamstring in Brooklyn’s loss to Chicago.
The Nets’ leading scorer had just recorded his first career double-double before the injury. With the regular season ending on April 13, the team ruled out his return for proper recovery. He averaged 24.0 points in 25 games but missed 37 games earlier due to a similar injury.
Anthony Davis, Dallas Mavericks
March 2025
Davis will join the Mavericks’ G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, to participate in five-on-five workouts as he recovers from a left adductor strain.
The 10-time All-Star has played just one game for the Mavericks since being acquired in the Luka Dončić trade. He last played on Feb. 8, scoring 16 points, 7 assists, and 3 blocks before exiting with the injury.
Trey Murphy III, New Orleans Pelicans
March 2025
Murphy will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a torn labrum and partially torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
How: He initially dislocated his shoulder in the first quarter of Monday’s 46-point loss to the Pistons. Further examination confirmed the severity of the injury. Murphy had been averaging a career-high 21.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 45.4% overall and 36.1% from three in 52 games.
Domantas Sabonis, Sacramento Kings
March 19, 2025
Sabonis suffered a moderate right ankle sprain in Monday’s win against the Grizzlies and will be reevaluated in 10 days.
The injury occurred in the third quarter. This setback comes just after Sabonis returned from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for six games. Jonas Valančiūnas is expected to step into the starting lineup during his absence. The Kings, currently ninth in the Western Conference, have struggled without Sabonis, holding a 3-6 record in games he’s missed this season.
Josh Giddey, Chicago Bulls
March 2025
Giddey, who has been having a career-best season, is expected to miss the upcoming game after suffering an ankle injury.
The Bulls will rely more on Coby White, Kevin Huerter, and Nikola Vučević in Giddey’s absence, as he has been a key playmaker averaging 20.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 6.8 assists over his last 15 games.
Brandon Clarke (Memphis Grizzlies)
April 2025
Clarke will miss the remainder of the season due to a high-grade PCL sprain in his right knee but has chosen a non-surgical treatment plan.
Following multiple consultations, Clarke received an injection and began rehab, with a unanimous decision to avoid surgery. He’s expected to return for the 2025-26 season.
Ja Morant (Memphis Grizzlies)
April 2025 (Game 4, First-Round Playoffs)
Ja Morant will miss Game 4 against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a left hip injury suffered during Memphis’ Game 3 loss.
Morant crashed to the court after a foul, missed two free throws, and exited in pain. Already down 0-3, the Grizzlies now face elimination without their superstar guard.
Jock Landale (Memphis Grizzlies)
July 2025
Free agent center Jock Landale has signed with the Grizzlies to bolster their depleted frontcourt following Jay Huff’s trade and multiple injuries.
With Zach Edey recovering from ankle surgery and Jaren Jackson Jr. out 12 weeks, Memphis turned to Landale, a strong screener and improving shooter, to fill the gap.
Jaren Jackson Jr (Memphis Grizzlies)
October 2025
Jackson returned to preseason action ahead of schedule after toe surgery, easing concerns about opening-night availability under new coach Tuomas Iisalo. Minutes now target conditioning and lineup reps. His two-way impact remains central as Memphis resets schemes in Iisalo’s first full year.
