NBA 2025/2026 Basketball

3.4.26 Los Angeles Lakers: Injuries

Luka Doncic left the Los Angeles Lakers' heavy loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder early with a strained left hamstring and will undergo an MRI. The injury, which he aggravated during the game, raises concern for both his MVP eligibility, having played only 64 games, and the Lakers' playoff outlook. Despite reassurance from LeBron James and coach JJ Redick, the severity of the setback could impact Doncic's availability and the team's title hopes.

31.3.26 Minnesota Timberwolves: Injuries

The Minnesota Timberwolves will be without Jaden McDaniels for at least a few games due to a knee injury, dealing a blow during a tight playoff race. However, Anthony Edwards returned from soreness and contributed 17 points in a win over the Dallas Mavericks, keeping his eligibility for end-of-season awards intact. With playoff seeding still up for grabs, Minnesota is balancing injuries and performance as the regular season winds down.

30.3.26 New York Knicks: Injuries

Miles McBride returned from hernia surgery for the New York Knicks but left after 11 minutes following a collision with Lu Dort in a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Coach Mike Brown had no update, while McBride's strong season and potential impact remain significant if he stays healthy.

29.3.26 Philadelphia 76-ers: Injuries

Tyrese Maxey starred in his return from injury with 26 points, including a momentum-shifting dunk, as the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets 118-114. With Joel Embiid and Paul George also back, Philadelphia overcame a 15-point deficit to secure a key win in the Eastern Conference standings. George hit a late three-pointer and Embiid sealed the game with a crucial block.
