Why Ben Simmons’s risk score is 98
- Injury History (+58): 28 recorded injury events, 2 in the past 18 months, 7 severe
- Recurring Injury (+21): Back has been the site of 10 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Contract Year (×1.10): In a contract year (fringe-tier contract) — more incentive to play through a minor issue rather than rest it: can mean a monster season, but also raises the odds of a nagging injury compounding
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.
