Aaron Gordon
January 2026
Gordon has a right hamstring strain and will be reevaluated in four to six weeks, removing a key starter from Denver’s rotation. The injury occurred in the win over Milwaukee; he is averaging 17.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists this season, with Denver sitting third in the West.
Steven Adams
January 2026
The Rockets announced Adams will miss the rest of the season after left ankle surgery. He suffered the injury against New Orleans and was diagnosed with a Grade 3 sprain; Houston lose a key rebounder and interior presence while already missing Fred VanVleet for the season.
Evan Mobley
January 2026
Mobley will miss time again with a left calf strain, his second calf issue this season. Tightness after the Magic win led to MRI confirmation; he previously missed five games with a Grade 1 calf strain and remains among league leaders in blocks.
Evan Mobley
January 2026
Mobley has a calf strain and is expected to miss one to three weeks, with Cleveland preparing for a road trip after hosting the Lakers. Tightness after the Magic game led to imaging confirmation; Mobley previously missed time with a Grade 1 calf strain and recently became the youngest Cavs player to reach 500 career blocks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo
January 2026
Rivers confirmed a right calf strain and said there is no timetable for Antetokounmpo’s return, after Giannis had suggested a 4–6 week absence based on prior experience. The update highlights recurrence, prior missed time, and Bucks workload monitoring that did not prevent re-injury, with the team not considering shutting him down for the season.
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green
January 2026
Curry and Green were held out of a loss to the Timberwolves due to knee soreness and a back issue, adding to a depleted rotation already missing Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga. Kerr said Curry’s knee worsened enough Monday morning to rule him out, with optimism both could return next game, while the broader context is a compressed schedule and multiple key injuries.
Devin Booker
January 2026
Booker will be sidelined for at least a week after spraining his right ankle against Atlanta and will be re-evaluated in one week. The injury occurred late in the third quarter after he stepped on Onyeka Okongwu’s foot. Jalen Green also felt right hamstring tightness again in the same game, with the team hoping it is not long-term.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Kuminga will miss more time after suffering a bone bruise and hyperextended left knee, with re-evaluation timing to be set in coming days. He was injured at Dallas and had imaging on Friday. He had only just re-entered the rotation after Jimmy Butler’s season-ending injury.
Ja Morant
January 2026
Morant is expected to miss at least the next three weeks after spraining the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, another disruption in a season where he has played 20 of 43 games. The injury happened in the loss to the Hawks and was confirmed by the team, with a re-evaluation timeline set. It follows a recent calf absence and continues an interrupted campaign amid ongoing trade speculation.
Devin Booker
January 2026
Booker suffered a painful right ankle roll late in the third quarter after landing on Okongwu’s foot, while Green was removed early as a precaution due to tightness in just his second game back from a long hamstring absence. Booker walked off under his own power but was clearly limited; the Suns plan full assessment after returning to Phoenix. Coaches framed Green’s exit as preventative, given his recent recovery and heavy rehab workload.
