On March 26th, 2019, Portland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic went down with a season ending leg injury against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered compound fractures of his fibula and tibia in his left leg while coming down awkwardly for a rebound. He was given no time-table for his return, and missed the entirety of the deep playoff run that the Blazers made later that season.
On October 27th, 2019, Blazers forward Zach Collins dislocated his left shoulder while grabbing a non-contact rebound in a game against the Dallas Mavericks. On November 5th, he underwent successful surgery to repair his left labrum, and was given a time-table of 4-6 months to return.
