Since 2005, I have one recorded case of an NBA player tearing their labrum in-season, undergoing surgery, & returning in the same regular season: Nicolas Batum in 2009. Oddly enough Batum's injury occurred on October 25, the same day that Cason Wallace sustained his injury.

Otega Oweh’s torn Achilles marks the 3rd straight year an OKC rookie will miss the entire regular season due to injury. Thomas Sorber and Nikola Topić tore their ACLs in back-to-back years, while Chet Holmgren also missed his rookie season (22–23) with a Lisfranc injury.

Injury Update on Maxime Raynaud: A patellar subluxation is significantly different than a knee dislocation. Recovery will focus on strengthening the area to reduce the odds of a recurrence. Average time lost for in-season patellar subluxations in the NBA is ~14 days

Unsurprising to see a spike in soft tissue injuries, especially lower extremities strains, during the NBA preseason. Studies have shown training camp and preseason action has the highest rate of game-loss injuries when compared with regular season and postseason injuries.

The Hornets say Kon Knueppel suffered a left hamstring injury and Grant Williams suffered a right hamstring injury during offseason on-court activity and will miss the preseason. Both will be re-evaluated during the first week of the regular season.
