The 2026-27 NBA season begins on October 21, but several teams are still dealing with injury concerns as they prepare for the opening week. Some players have been sidelined for months, while others picked up injuries during the preseason and now face a race against time to be ready for their first regular-season game.
Teams like the Golden State Warriors have particular reason to be concerned, with multiple players out with injuries, including Stephen Curry, who suffered an ankle scare in preseason and was added to their injury watch.
