Fred VanVleet
Houston Rockets · G
Injury risk score: 58/100 (Medium).
Current status: not on today’s NBA injury report.
Why Fred VanVleet’s risk score is 58
- Injury History (+30): 10 recorded injury events, 3 in the past 18 months, 2 severe
- Age Risk (+6): Moderate age adjustment (32)
- Recurring Injury (+15): Knee has been the site of 4 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Return to Play (-1): 7 healthy games since returning from his knee injury — each 5 lowers the score a little (up to 8 points) during the first year back
- Contract Year (×0.97): In a contract year (starter-tier contract) — already secure enough that preservation instinct dominates
The injury risk score (0–100) is built from a player’s injury history — how often, how recently and how seriously he has been hurt — plus a body part that keeps failing, age, a recent return from injury, and his contract situation. 70+ is High risk, 40–69 Medium, under 40 Low.
