Why Christian Braun’s risk score is 42
- Injury History (+19): 8 recorded injury events, 3 in the past 18 months, 1 severe
- Recurring Injury (+14): Ankle 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 ankle injury — each 5 lowers the score a little (up to 8 points) during the first year back
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.
