The 2022 NBA Playoffs are just entering round one, week two. However the injuries are adding up. The Miami Heat are the top seed in the East, and took a 3-1 series lead Sunday in Atlanta. They had to play without their free agent point guard Kyle Lowry who is nursing a lower body injury.
A MRI revealed MVP candidate Joel Embiid of the 76ers has a torn thumb ligament, which requires surgery after the season. Philadelphia weren’t able to sweep in Toronto on Saturday. Their All Star point guard only played 15 minutes, Van Fleet seemed to injure his knee.
Phoenix is in a 2-2 series with the young Pelicans, Devin Booker is set to miss sometime due to a hamstring injury. Their 2021 Finals opponent Milwaukee took a 3-1 lead Sunday in Chicago. However they are missing All Star Kris Middleton for multiple weeks with a knee injury.
And those are just the big names, that are injured. So many more are around these playoffs.
