Several NBA players are dealing with injuries, including Trae Young, Brandon Miller, Walker Kessler, Jordan Poole, Austin Reaves, Anthony Edwards, and Gabe Vincent. Trae Young and Walker Kessler are expected to miss significant time, with Young's injury severity still being assessed and Kessler out for the season. Other players, like Edwards and Miller, are being re-evaluated or awaiting further assessment of their injuries.
