NBA injury report

The Portland Trail Blazers are preparing for their game against the Sacramento Kings with a 1-2 record, but will be missing several key players due to injuries, including Matisse Thybulle, who is out for two to three weeks with knee inflammation. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets seek their first win of the season against the Toronto Raptors, facing their own challenges with three players sidelined and a winless start after two games. The Los Angeles Lakers will also be without seven players as they attempt to improve to 4-0 against the Phoenix Suns, with notable absences including Christian Wood and Jarred Vanderbilt, both recovering from injuries. The Golden State Warriors, in contrast, have only one player on their injury report as they host the LA Clippers, who are missing star player Kawhi Leonard due to ongoing knee issues. The Clippers have struggled with injuries among their top players and are expected to face a tough challenge against the healthy Warriors. All these teams are navigating significant injury challenges early in the season as they strive for better standings.
