Why Chet Holmgren’s risk score is 80
- Injury History (+57): 21 recorded injury events, 12 in the past 18 months, 4 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 15 lower-body injury event(s) (context only, not counted toward risk score)
- Recurring Injury (+17): Back has been the site of 6 separate injury episodes — a recurring, chronic-pattern concern rather than isolated bad luck
- Contract Year (×0.95): 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.
