By now you've probably seen the stat that more All-Stars have missed games in this year's NBA playoffs (eight) than any before on record, per Elias Sports Bureau research, beating the previous record of six.
But that only begins to describe the impact injuries have had on a postseason unlike any other.
Whether it's those playing through injuries (including MVP runner-up Joel Embiid and former winner James Harden), players hoping to come back soon (All-Stars Mike Conley Jr. and Kyrie Irving) or those whose status going forward remains uncertain (led by Kawhi Leonard, who's been perhaps the most valuable player in the playoffs), injury news has dominated the NBA landscape this week and all postseason long.
