Why Lauri Markkanen’s risk score is 66
- Injury History (+51): 20 recorded injury events, 11 in the past 18 months, 6 severe
- Non-Injury Absences (context only): Missed games for illness/personal reasons in the past 18 months: ~2 (not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+14): Back has been the site of 3 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Return to Play (-1): 8 healthy games since returning from his hip injury — each 5 lowers the score a little (up to 8 points) during the first year back
- Contract Year (×0.90): Not yet in a contract year (star-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.
