Nassir Little will undergo surgery to repair the torn labrum in his left shoulder.

The surgery will be performed on Tuesday, February 1 by Dr. James Andrews at the Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine in Gulf Breeze, Florida.  

Little will miss the remainder of the season.   

In 42 games this season with the Portland Trail Blazers (23 starts), Little averaged career highs of 9.8 points (46.0% FG, 33.1% 3-PT, 73.4% FT), 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.86 blocks and 25.9 minutes.  

Joe Ingles has suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee, an MRI confirmed on Monday.

Ingles has no other structural damage to his knee.

Ingles is expected to undergo surgery as soon as he gets a range of motion back in his knee and will almost certainly miss the start of the 22-23 season.

Ingles was in his final year of his contract with the Utah Jazz and had been the subject of trade rumors.

Bradley Beal will miss the next two games (Feb. 1 at Milwaukee and Feb. 2 at Philadelphia) due to a sprained left wrist.  

Beal suffered the injury at the 7:47 mark of the third quarter at Memphis on January 29. 

Beal is averaging 23.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.6 assists this season.

Another MVP caliber season from Nikola Jokic has kept the Denver Nuggets afloat while playing without Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr., who are both injured.

Murray tore his ACL last March while Porter underwent back surgery near the start of the season.

The Nuggets could potentially get both Murray and Porter back at some point this season.

"There is a chance both Murray and Porter could return this season, sources say," writes Zach Lowe of ESPN.

The Nuggets reached the Western Conference Finals in 2020 and looked even better in 2021 following the Aaron Gordon trade before Murray suffered a torn ACL.

The Utah Jazz fear Joe Ingles has suffered a significant left knee injury.

Ingles will undergo an MRI on Monday.

Ingles' knee buckled on a drive to the basket, causing him to crumple to the court in the second quarter. 

Ingles is in the final year of a contract that pays $13 million in 2021-22.

New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose has been out since mid-December, but his return seems to be getting close. While speaking with the media for the first time since he was shut down to have ankle surgery, Rose said he'd make his return very soon after next month's All-Star break.

The Knicks said Rose would miss approximately eight weeks after surgery. Is Rose returns in mid-February, his timeline will match that almost exactly.

Rose has averaged 12 points per game in the first year of a three-year, $43.5 million contract with New York. He's played mostly off the bench for the Knicks, but was inserted into the starting lineup shortly before getting injured.

The Los Angeles Lakers are preparing to be without their superstar for a while. LeBron James has missed the Lakers last two games and will miss their game on Sunday at the Atlanta Hawks, as well. James has already returned to Los Angeles due to swelling in his left knee.

Lakers coach Frank Vogel said about James, "As long as the swelling is there, he's going to be out."

James previously missed two weeks in November due to an abdominal strain. Now, he'll be on the shelf indefinitely with the swelling in his left knee.

The Lakers have gone 5-9 without James this season. Entering play on Sunday, Los Angeles finds themselves 24-26 and in ninth place in the Western Conference.

After the Boston Celtics win over the New Orleans Pelicans, Marcus Smart was spotted flexing and rubbing his right hand. When asked if his hand was sore, Smart made a startling revelation.

"Yeah, it gets like this ever since the picture frame incident. There's still some glass in there. The doctors said it would cause more issues to take it out, so I still have glass in there. Sometimes I can't really feel my hand."

The "picture frame incident" is from January of 2018. While on a road trip, Smart punched a picture frame in the team hotel. He missed three weeks while recovering from the cut to his right hand.

Smart spoke later that year about how his medical team thought it would be best to leave some of the glass in his hand, as opposed to risking further injury. At the time of the injury, Smart's doctors told him he was lucky to not have severed several key tendons and ligaments that could have ended his career.

The already shorthanded Brooklyn Nets lost another star on Saturday. James Harden has been playing through a sore right hand in recent days. The injury ultimately forced Harden to miss the Nets loss at the Golden State Warriors, due to what the team is calling a strained right hand.

Brooklyn coach Steve Nash said he didn't know what Harden's status would be for the Nets game at the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Nash said Harden thought the injury was nothing to be worried about.

"Then it really flared up this morning when he woke up. Obviously irritated but what he was feeling (Friday) and (Saturday) morning he woke up with some irritation, so he had a scan.”

Already down Kevin Durant and Joe Harris, and now Harden, Brooklyn also lost LaMarcus Aldridge during the game to a sprained ankle. Kyrie Irving scored 32 points, but the Nets fell to the Warriors and dropped to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Kristaps Porzingis' injury-ridden season continued this weekend. Porzingis left the Dallas Mavericks win over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday in the first half due to knee soreness. After the game, it was reported that he will not travel for the Mavs game at the Orlando Magic on Sunday.

Porzingis has missed 16 of the Mavericks first 50 games. The persistent knee soreness has kept the big man from finding his rhythm in Dallas' offense. He's shooting a career-low 28.3% from behind the arc and is averaging 19.2 points per game.
