The Memphis Grizzlies take the crown as the most accident-prone NBA team. In the 2023-2024 season, the basketball team has incurred eight injuries, including Desmond Bane’s Grade 3 ankle sprain in January 2024. Ja Morant’s shoulder surgery also means the player will be out for the remainder of the season.
The Los Angeles Lakers and the Portland Trail Blazers rank in joint second place, with seven accidents in the 2023-2024 season. Colin Castleton, center for the Los Angeles Lakers, will be out of the game for weeks due to a fractured wrist; Robert Williams III, center for Rip City, has been out of play since October due to a patellar dislocation.
The Chicago Bulls is the third team most vulnerable to accidents. According to ESPN, the NBA team has incurred five injuries during the 2023-2024 season. The team’s power forward player, Patrick Williams, is recovering from surgery that treated bone edema in his left foot, meaning he will be out for the remainder of the season.
In joint fourth place with four injuries during the 2023-2024 season: Miami Heat’s Dru Smith is out for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury; Mitchell Robinson, center for the New York Knicks, is out for the season since incurring an ankle injury against the Boston Celtics; the Philadelphia 76ers’ shooting guard, De'Anthony Melton, has lumbar spine bone stress and will miss approximately three games; and the Milwaukee Buck’s Khris Middleton missed a game due to an ankle injury.
On the other hand, seven NBA teams are tying as the least accident-prone. Oklahoma City Thunder’s Jaylin Williams, the New Orleans Pelicans’ Dyson Daniels, the Denver Nuggets’ Vlatko Cancer, the Detroit Pistons’ Quentin Grimes, and Orlando Magic’s Markelle Fultz all suffered knee injuries.
Additionally, the LA Clipper’s Russell Westbrook had surgery on his hand and Sacramento King’s Sasha Vezenkov injured their ankle.
The study used data from ESPN on the number of ‘day-to-day' and ‘out’ injuries incurred by individual players to determine the most accident-prone NBA teams.
