Noa Essengue
Chicago Bulls · F
Injury risk score: 29/100 (Low).
Current status: not on today’s NBA injury report.
Why Noa Essengue’s risk score is 29
- Injury History (+18): 2 recorded injury events, 2 in the past 18 months, 1 severe
- Return to Play (-1): 7 healthy games since returning from his shoulder injury — each 5 lowers the score a little (up to 8 points) during the first year back
- Contract Year (×1.07): Not yet in a contract year (fringe-tier contract), but still fighting for his next deal — same incentive to play through a minor issue rather than rest it: can mean a breakout season, but also 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.
