The NBA injury report for October 24 just dropped, and it currently features more missing information than a redacted government file. If you are trying to set a fantasy lineup or lock in a wager tonight, you are flying completely blind.
According to the latest update from Underdog NBA, half the league is playing a game of chicken with the deadline. But the names that actually did get filed are enough to send the betting markets into a full freeze. Stephen Curry is listed as doubtful for Golden State, while LeBron James is officially questionable for Philadelphia.
"Underdog NBA reported the extensive list of 'Yet to submit' statuses alongside major questionable tags."
Yes, the 2-0 Sixers might be without LeBron when they host the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET. If you are shocked that a guy with this much mileage on his body is already popping up on the injury report, you probably still think buying a timeshare is a solid financial investment.
Cleveland is also taking a hit, officially ruling out Nae'Qwan Tomlin. The Cavaliers forward was recently diagnosed with a lower back stress reaction and is looking at a three-to-four-week vacation before he even gets re-evaluated.
This is the absolute worst part of the modern NBA experience. We have marquee matchups on the schedule, but fans and bettors have to wait until 45 minutes before tip-off to find out if they are watching a clash of titans or a glorified G-League scrimmage. When superstars like Curry and James are hovering in the doubtful and questionable zones, every point spread is just a random number generator.
Keep your finger on the refresh button as we get closer to the evening slate. If LeBron actually sits against Milwaukee, the Sixers will need a massive offensive shift to keep their undefeated record intact. Until those late reports finally clear the wire, keep your wallet safely in your pocket.
Key stats
Philadelphia 76ers are 2-0 to start the season.
Nae'Qwan Tomlin is out 3-4 weeks with a lower back stress reaction.
What's next
Bettors and fantasy managers must wait for late-afternoon updates before tip-off, particularly for the Bucks-Sixers matchup, to see if James will suit up.
