The injury bug has bitten a number of the NBA’s top players, from Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis to Zion Williamson, Karl-Anthony Towns and Devin Booker. And that’s not even the complete list!

I don’t mean to be skeptical, but Davis has a stress fracture in his right foot and a long history of missing games for various reasons. And this is a good reason. OK, so he returns soon.
