Injuries unfortunately always play a big role in how an NBA season plays out and this year will be no different. Already entering the 2021-22 season, some key names around the league are already projected to miss the start of the regular season and could wind up missing even more time.

Once again though, as we continue to battle worldwide against COVID-19, the NBA will face the struggles of players missing games due to testing positive for the Delta variant and being in health protocols.
