Check back during the NBA season for injury reports.
Staying informed about NBA injuries is essential for fantasy basketball managers, sports bettors, and fans who want to know which players will be available on game night. The NBA requires all 30 teams to submit official injury reports before each game, providing transparency about player availability. CourtVision aggregates these reports in real time so you can see the injury status of every player across the league in one place.
Since the 2017-18 season, the NBA has required teams to submit injury reports by 5:00 PM ET on game days (1:00 PM ET for weekend and holiday games). These reports must include every player who may be affected by an injury, illness, or rest decision. The league implemented these rules to ensure competitive integrity and to give all stakeholders, including opposing teams and the public, accurate information about player availability.
The NBA uses several status categories to describe a player's availability. Out means the player will definitely not play. Doubtful indicates the player is unlikely to play (roughly 25% chance). Questionable means there is a genuine uncertainty about whether the player will suit up (approximately 50% chance). Probable means the player is expected to play but is dealing with a minor issue (roughly 75% or better chance). Day-to-Day is used between games to indicate an ongoing but not severe issue that is evaluated daily.
Injury reports directly affect fantasy basketball lineups and betting lines. When a star player is ruled out, their team's odds shift, and usage opens up for teammates. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report daily to make lineup adjustments, stream available players, and plan waiver pickups. Players listed as questionable often become game-time decisions, so checking for final status updates close to tip-off is critical for making the best decisions.
NBA teams must submit injury reports by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on game days. For games on weekends and holidays, the deadline is 1:00 PM ET. Teams may update a player's status after the initial report if their condition changes, so it is important to check for updates close to game time.
Out means the player will not play. Doubtful means they are unlikely to play (about 25% chance). Questionable indicates genuine uncertainty (about 50%). Probable means they are expected to play but are dealing with a minor issue. Day-to-Day is used between games for ongoing evaluations.
When a key player is injured, their usage (shots, assists, rebounds) gets redistributed to teammates. Fantasy managers should monitor injury reports to identify streaming options, players likely to see increased minutes and usage. Checking the injury report before lineup lock is essential to avoid starting a player who has been ruled out.
CourtVision pulls injury data from ESPN and refreshes it hourly during the NBA season. This ensures you have access to the latest status updates, including any changes made after the initial injury report deadline. During the offseason, injury data may be limited.
