    December 2025

    Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac will miss several weeks after suffering a Grade 2 sprain to his left ankle, having landed awkwardly on LeBron James’ foot during the first quarter of a 103-88 win over the Lakers at the Intuit Dome. Zubac left the game after posting five points and two rebounds in 11 minutes, with scans confirming significant ligament damage, and the 28-year-old’s absence deprives the Clippers of a double-double machine who anchors their interior defense and has been central to their frontcourt identity.

    Luka Dončić left the Lakers’ derby defeat to the Clippers at halftime with a left leg contusion, cutting short the NBA’s leading scorer’s night after 19 minutes and 12 points and adding fresh concern over his fitness in an already injury hit Los Angeles squad. Coach JJ Redick said he noticed Dončić limping in the second quarter but could not offer a timeline, while LeBron James called injuries the worst part of sport as the Lakers juggle absences for Rui Hachimura, Deandre Ayton and Austin Reaves and search for stability in the Western Conference race.

    Sacramento Kings big man Domantas Sabonis will miss at least another month with a partial left meniscus tear, extending an absence that has coincided with the team sinking near the bottom of the Western Conference at 6-21 after 11 appearances from their All-Star center. Sabonis, who averaged 17.2 points and 12.3 rebounds before the injury, will be re-evaluated in four to five weeks as the Kings lean on rookie Maxime Raynaud. The second-rounder has seized the extra minutes, posting rising scoring and rebounding numbers over his last eight games.

    December 2025

    Trae Young will return to the Atlanta Hawks lineup against the Charlotte Hornets after missing nearly two months with a sprained right MCL, having originally gone down on October 29 following a five game start that saw him average 17.8 points and 7.8 assists. Atlanta have gone 13 wins and nine losses without their four time All Star, who led the league in assists last season, and they now hope his playmaking lift can push a 15-12 team higher in the East as he eases back under minutes management.

    Zion closes out Bulls as injury-hit Pelicans star makes winning return

    Zion Williamson
    December 2025

    Zion Williamson returned from a right hip adductor strain to post 18 points off the bench, including seven in the final four minutes, sparking the last-place Pelicans to a 114-104 home win over the Bulls and easing fears after yet another injury-interrupted start to his season. Limited to just under 27 minutes in his first game back after missing five, Williamson leaned on improved summer conditioning, capped his night with a late dunk and admitted rehab “sucks” but is now shorter thanks to better preparation, while James Borrego praised him for working back slightly ahead of schedule.

    Cavs lose Mobley for up to a month with calf strain setback

    Evan Mobley
    December 2025

    Cleveland center Evan Mobley has been ruled out for between two and four weeks after scans revealed a Grade 1 strain in his left calf, sidelining the All Star big man at a time when he is averaging 19.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. Mobley suffered the issue in a 130-126 win over Washington and will enter rest and rehab while the Cavaliers lean more heavily on Jarrett Allen and their backup bigs, needing to shore up interior defense and rebounding to stay competitive in the Eastern race.

    Lakers lose in form Austin Reaves for at least a week with calf strain

    Austin Reaves
    December 2025

    Austin Reaves will miss at least one week with a mild left calf strain, sidelining the breakout guard for the Lakers’ next two games just as he averages 27.8 points, 6.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds while forming a high scoring backcourt with Luka Doncic. The injury is the latest setback in an already disrupted Lakers season, with James only recently returning after missing 14 games and Doncic sitting six through load management and family reasons. The team, 17 7 so far, must now cover Reaves’ usage and creation while keeping their strong start on track.

    Grizzlies lose Zach Edey for at least a month with ankle stress reaction

    December 2025

    Memphis center Zach Edey will miss at least four weeks after scans revealed a stress reaction in his previously operated left ankle, extending a frustrating run of injuries for the second-year big man. After offseason ankle surgery and a delayed start to the campaign, Edey managed only 11 games, averaging 13.6 points and 11.1 rebounds before renewed symptoms forced the team to shut him down for rest and rehab, further weakening a struggling Grizzlies frontcourt.

    Dereck Lively II ruled out for season after foot surgery

    December 2025

    Dallas confirmed Lively will have season-ending surgery on his right foot after weeks of swelling and soreness limited him to seven games, where he averaged 4.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 16.4 minutes. The 21-year-old’s latest setback follows previous foot issues that restricted him to 55 and then 36 games in his first two seasons, compounding Dallas’ injury problems with Kyrie Irving still out after ACL surgery and putting more on Anthony Davis as the team fights from 11th in the West.

    December 2025

    Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett will miss at least another week after receiving a platelet rich plasma injection in his sprained right knee, extending an absence that has already seen him sit out eight games ahead of the team’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the New York Knicks. Barrett, averaging 19.4 points on 50.6 percent shooting, will be re evaluated after missing at least two more games, with Toronto sliding after five losses in six and juggling NBA Cup scenarios that could send them to the semifinals or a consolation matchup.
