NBA Gambling Probe Deepens: Lakers Phones Seized Amid Explosive Investigation
Teams (some more than others, but all of them to some extent) try to keep injury information close to the vest, especially when it is day-to-day, both because it gives the team flexibility and forces opponents to game plan for more possibilities. Teams are intentionally vague about injury status, sometimes driven by coaches or front offices seeking a competitive edge (a trend that is far from exclusive to the NBA). Players will be officially listed as “day-to-day” for weeks, and their status could change to “probable” or “available” as late as possible to allow them to participate in a game. The League is looking to tighten this up.
