As the NBA season approaches its conclusion, player injuries continue to impact many teams, with notable names like De'Aaron Fox and Cam Thomas now out for the season. Fox will undergo surgery for a lingering pinkie ligament issue, while Thomas is sidelined due to a hamstring strain. This paves the way for Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie to step up for the Spurs and Tyrese Martin and Keon Johnson for the Nets.

Injuries aren't the only story as standout performances are lighting up the league. Stephen Curry recently made history by becoming the first player to hit 4,000 three-pointers. High-scoring efforts from players like Anthony Edwards and Quentin Grimes are also making headlines. Edwards set a franchise record for 40-point games in a season, while Grimes has shown his scoring prowess with four consecutive games of 25 points or more.
