Why Steven Adams’s risk score is 97
- Injury History (+59): 26 recorded injury events, 12 in the past 18 months, 8 severe

- Position Load (context only): C with 20 lower-body injury event(s) (context only, not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+22): Ankle has been the site of 11 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
