Chicago Bulls · C
Injury risk score: 72/100 (High).
Current status: not on today’s NBA injury report.
Why Nic Claxton’s risk score is 72
- Injury History (+39): 16 recorded injury events, 7 in the past 18 months, 5 severe
- Non-Injury Absences (context only): Missed games for illness/personal reasons in the past 18 months: ~1 (not counted toward risk score)
- Position Load (context only): C with 8 lower-body injury event(s) (context only, not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+15): Ankle has been the site of 4 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Return to Play (+8): Back from a hamstring injury (out 8+ report dates, last 2 days ago) — re-injury risk is highest in the first weeks after a muscle injury; fades over 3 weeks
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.
