It’s not even Halloween, the NBA season is barely a week old, but the injury report already looks like something you’d expect to read in April.
Here in Mexico City, I can relate. You can feel Día de Muertos in the air, both figuratively and literally. We’re just days — hours, if you push it — away from one of the biggest festivities in the country to take place this weekend. No need to explain what we celebrate, trying to bring back those who left us in the past to start just another chapter away from the land. If only for a little ratito.

Keerthika Uthayakumar’s little research went viral yesterday. Yet according to ESPN’s injury report from early Thursday, the Knicks had just one player listed: my man José, who missed the game against the Chicago Bulls with an ankle injury. Maldito tobillo.

Obviously, the most concerning situation might be in Oklahoma City, where Jalen Williams underwent surgery to repair a fractured left fibula and reconstruct ankle ligaments following a fracture-dislocation and will only be reevaluated by the team when the regular season ends. Gone for good, in other words. Descanse en paz, bendito. His teammate Cason Wallace also needs surgery after tearing the labrum in his left shoulder, and both will miss a hellaciously long time.
