The 2026-27 NBA season has started with an exciting opening, but it has also made headlines because of injuries. Before the first week of the league was over, some of the championship favorite teams and superstars who could change the course of the league were sidelined by injuries.

These losses early in the season upended teams' plans. Coaching staffs had to build new rotations to fill the gaps left by the missing players and reorganize their rosters.

This picture shows once again how important roster depth is over a long season. How long the injuries will last and which teams will be hit hardest will become clear in the coming weeks.
