The Washington Capitals will be without Rasmus Sandin for a while. The defenseman underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a torn ACL in his right knee.

The typical ACL recovery timeline is six to nine months. Even if the Capitals had made the playoffs, they likely would have been without Sandin in the lineup. The 38-year-old player may possibly return by next January after his recovery.

Sandin suffered an ACL injury on April 11 against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Justin Brazeau’s collision caused his skate to get stuck in the ice and twist his leg. The Swedish blueliner could not put weight on his foot and had to be helped off the ice.

“It was an unfortunate play,” Sandin said. “Almost all my weight was on that foot. If I could have shifted a little bit of my weight to my other foot, I don’t think anything would have happened. I haven’t really examined the game since, you’re just angry that it happened.”

Sandin played very well in the 2025–26 season, recording 29 points (5 goals, 24 assists) in 73 games. The blueliner was also third on the team in blocks and had a plus/minus of plus-4.

Sandin was also promoted to the top pairing and moved to right side following the trade of John Carlson. However, with the Swede out for most of 2026-27, general manager Chris Patrick will look to fill the void.

Washington D.C. – While his season is over, and his return to the basketball court is still a long way off, Jimmy Butler remains in good spirits as he begins the road to recovery. The Golden State Warriors star spoke to the media for the first time since suffering a season-ending ACL injury in his right knee in late January.

“It feels like I had ACL surgery five weeks ago,” Butler said while sitting at his locker. “Overall, I’m good. Happy.”

Butler’s words matched the condition of his knee.

With his legs spread, you can see the long scar on his swollen, surgically repaired right knee, which he recently had surgery on on February 9 – a visual indication that Butler is in the early stages of a long recovery process rehabilitating a torn ACL. And those first steps of rehabilitation have not been easy.

“[It’s been] “It’s hard not being with my guys. It’s hard not being able to play the game I love,” Butler said of his last five weeks. And are not able to travel. It is difficult, but rehabilitation is going on. “We’re doing what we need to do to get back on the timeline.”

But like Butler, the always positive and introspective man he was, he maintained perspective on his situation.

“It’s not all bad, I still tell people I’m an NBA player. So I’m happy with that,” Butler said before pointing to two-way players Nate Williams and Malevi Lyons, two lockers.

“There are still some amazing guys taking advantage of their opportunity, some guys are down. That was a time in my Chicago days. So I get very happy, and smile when I see guys playing well. And then, you know, I got my family, the kids were around. And then I knew I was working my way back toward something. So it all puts you in perspective.”

Warriors’ season after Jimmy Butler’s injury

Buttler had only recently been given permission to fly due to his knee condition deteriorating following surgery, so he made it a priority to rejoin the team amid a tough six-game trip, which was a much-needed morale boost for a team struggling to stay afloat.

Golden State has gone 7-16 since Butler tore his ACL on Jan. 19 against the Miami Heat. Shortly after Butler went down, Stephen Curry did the same, suffering patellofemoral pain syndrome and a knee injury. Without their two stars, the Warriors have dropped to ninth place in the West.

And with injuries to other players on their roster, the Portland Trail Blazers are in danger of falling even lower to 10th place as they fall behind. In New York, the Warriors were facing no more than $190 million in payroll, fielding a rotation that included three two-way players and one on 10-day contracts.

After the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kerr said, “I remember we lost as well as any team.”

Butler’s recovery timeline

So, it is safe to say that the Warriors missed Butler a lot. But the timeline for when they’ll bring him back after he recovers from this latest injury remains to be seen.

When Butler was asked if he knew when he would be able to return, he said, “I want to come back.”

“We all know that. Obviously I can’t say when. [But] I can help my guys win some games as quickly as possible. But as you’ve probably heard me say a lot, whenever my body is ready, like this injury, for all other injuries, big, small, whenever my body is ready, I promise I’m going to try to get back out.

To get his knee back where it wants to be, Butler is attacking his rehab with a competitive edge, which is a very similar approach to Jimmy Butler’s approach to his recovery. Butler and his rehab team have a chart hanging on the wall with week-by-week goals. The goals are to bend the knee and bend it a certain number of degrees. His next goal at six weeks of rehab is to get rid of his crutches.

“So in a week, you can buy [my] Crutches,” Butler joked, pointing to one of the reporters sitting near his locker.

Charts have become Butler’s obsession in the best possible way. His livelihood was taken away in an instant. A livelihood in which competition was at the center of everything. So being able to frame his rehab like a competition allows Butler to maintain that aspect of his life.

“I see it all the time,” Butler said. “But at the same time, everything we do in rehab is about competition. You know, whether it’s today versus tomorrow. What are my numbers compared to other guys in the past. Don’t say any names, but it’s competition to see if you can be better than them. You can be better than you were yesterday. So it locks me in. Because I at least get a chance to compete that way.”

So while the scars on Butler’s knee are taking a toll on his body, his spirits remain intact. Whatever happens, as strong as ever.

“I’m just going to focus on myself and get back to being the best version of myself.”

华盛顿特区——虽然吉米·巴特勒的赛季已经结束，距离重返篮球场还有很长的路要走，但吉米·巴特勒在开始康复之路时仍然保持着良好的精神状态。这位金州勇士队球星自一月底右膝前十字韧带撕裂赛季报销以来首次接受媒体采访。

“感觉就像五周前我刚刚接受了前十字韧带手术，”巴特勒坐在储物柜前说道，他的两根银色拐杖就放在身旁。 “总而言之，我很好。很高兴。”

巴特勒的话与他膝盖的状况并列在一起。

当他的双腿伸直时，你可以看到他刚刚在 2 月 9 日接受手术修复的肿胀右膝上长长的疤痕——这一景象表明巴特勒正处于修复撕裂的 ACL 的漫长恢复过程的早期阶段。康复的第一阶段并不容易。

“[It’s been] 巴特勒在谈到他的最后五周时说：“不能和我的队友们在一起真是太难受了。”“不能参加我喜欢的比赛真是太难受了。”而且还不能去旅行。虽然很艰难，但康复工作一直在进行。我们正在做我们应该做的事情，试图回到时间表上。”

但就像巴特勒一直以来积极、内省的人一样，他对自己的处境保持着正确的看法。

“这也不全是坏事，我仍然可以告诉人们我是一名 NBA 球员。所以我对此感到高兴，”巴特勒说道，然后指着两个更衣室里的双向球员内特·威廉姆斯和马维·莱昂斯。

“仍然有一些出色的球员在利用他们的机会，而有些球员则表现不佳。这就是我在芝加哥的时候的情况。所以我感到非常高兴，当我看到人们打得好的时候，我会微笑。然后，你知道，我有我的家人，孩子们在身边。然后我就知道我正在朝着某件事努力。所以这一切都让你保持正确的态度。“

吉米·巴特勒受伤后勇士队的赛季

鉴于膝盖手术后的状态，巴特勒最近才获准飞行，因此他在艰难的六场客场之旅中优先考虑重新加入球队，这对于一支努力维持生计的球队来说是急需的士气提升。

自从1月19日巴特勒在对阵迈阿密热火队的比赛中前十字韧带撕裂以来，金州勇士队的战绩为7胜16负。巴特勒倒下后不久，斯蒂芬·库里也效仿，因髌股疼痛综合症和膝盖骨挫伤而倒下。失去了两位球星，勇士队已经跌至西部第九位。

由于球队名单上其他球员受伤，他们有可能进一步跌至第十名，而波特兰开拓者队则紧追不舍。在纽约，勇士队缺少超过 1.9 亿美元的薪水，轮换阵容包括三名双向球员和另一名 10 天合同球员。

“我们是我记忆中最失败的球队，”科尔在输给明尼苏达森林狼队后说道。

巴特勒的康复时间表

因此，可以肯定地说勇士队非常想念巴特勒。但至于一旦他从最近的伤势中恢复过来，他们什么时候能让他回归，时间表还有待观察。

“我确实想回来，”当被问及是否知道自己什么时候能够回归时，巴特勒说道。

“我们都知道这一点。显然，我不能说什么时候。 [But] 我会尽早帮助我的球员赢得一些比赛。但就像你可能听到我说过很多次一样，每当我的身体准备好时，就像这一次，所有其他伤害，无论是大的还是小的，每当我的身体准备好时，我保证我会努力康复。”

为了让他的膝盖回到他想要的位置，巴特以竞争优势进行康复治疗，这是一种非常吉米·巴特勒的康复方式。巴特勒和他的康复团队在墙上挂了一张图表，上面写着他必须达到的每周目标。目标例如获得膝盖弯曲并将其弯曲一定程度。他的下一个目标是在康复六周后摆脱拐杖。

“所以一周内，你就可以购买 [my] 拐杖，”巴特勒开玩笑说，指着他储物柜周围的一名记者。

这张图表已经成为巴特勒的痴迷，以最好的方式。他的生计瞬间就被夺走了。在这种生计中，竞争是一切的核心。因此，能够像比赛一样安排他的康复训练，让巴特勒能够维持他生活的这一方面。

“我一直在看它，”巴特勒说。 “而且，我们在康复中心所做的一切都是为了竞争。你知道，无论是今天还是昨天。我的数据与过去其他人的数据相比是多少。不透露名字，但它是在竞争，看看你是否能比他们更好。比昨天更好。所以这让我锁定。因为我至少可以这样竞争。”

因此，尽管巴特勒膝盖上的伤疤沉重地压在他的身上，但他的精神却完好无损。如果有什么不同的话，那就是像以前一样坚强。

“我只想专注于自己，并以最好的状态回归。”

The New Orleans Pelicans have had a tough season and continue to stumble in the standings, but they look forward to the return of guard Dejounte Murray.

On January 31, 2025, Dejounte Murray suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in the Pelicans’ game against the Boston Celtics. Murray played only eight minutes and nine seconds before suffering an injury.

After missing 13 months due to an Achilles injury and working hard to return, the Pelicans guard made his season debut and return from injury on Tuesday night when the Pelicans hosted the Golden State Warriors inside the Smoothie King Center.

In a tremendous show of respect, the Pelicans reorganized their starting lineup and named Dejounte Murray at the last spot in the group while the crowd cheered him on.

On the first play of the game, center DeAndre Jordan found Murray cutting to the left corner with a bounce pass. Murray made an acrobatic reverse layup, giving him his first basket back since the injury.

Dejounte Murray played five minutes in his first period and ended the game to a loud ovation from the Pelicans fans. Murray finished with four points on 2-of-3 shooting from the field.

Murray had been growing rapidly over the past few weeks, but only six months after Achilles surgery did he regain some of his athletic ability. The Pelicans guard actually posted a video of himself throwing down a reverse dunk with relative ease six months into his recovery.

6 months and it feels lighter!!! 😁 I’ll see you all again soon!!! 😤😈 #dm5🖤 pic.twitter.com/PuThC0u386

– Dejounte Murray (@DejounteMurray) 20 August 2025

Since becoming a full-time starter in the 2020 season, Dejounte Murray has averaged 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 45.5 percent from the field. If Murray can get back to form quickly, this could either make for an interesting part of the Pelicans’ rebuild or a great trade piece for a team lacking an athletic, do-everything guard.

On Monday evening, the Houston Rockets got back into the win column with a comfortable home win over the Utah Jazz. There was a scary moment when Jazz forward Vince Williams Jr. was injured after colliding with Rockets wing Terry Eason.

It has since been revealed that the injury was likely to be Williams’ ACL, and many fans were doubtful of Eason’s intentions in this game.

After the game, Eason took the opportunity to apologize to Williams for the incident.

According to Sarah Todd of the Desert News, Eason said, “I’ve known Vince for a long time and he’s a really good guy, hard-working guy.” “It was just respect. I have a lot of respect for him, and I know it’s his contract year… I didn’t intend to do anything. My intention is always just to work hard. So I went to yell and just go check on him. Obviously nothing helps, but just tell him I’m sorry. You know, nobody’s trying to hurt anybody.”

Meanwhile, Jazz coach Will Hardy had a strong reaction to the play.

“That’s not basketball,” Hardy said.

Overall, it was a strong performance for the Rockets on Monday, which was much needed after their recent loss against the New York Knicks on Saturday evening at Madison Square Garden. In that game, the Rockets led by 18 points in the second half, but could only put 15 points on the board in a poor fourth quarter and ultimately succumbed to Jalen Brunson’s jumpers.

The loss rekindled concerns about the Rockets’ crunch time offense and the team’s lack of a true point guard, although Fred VanVleet has not yet been officially ruled out for the remainder of the season as he continues to battle his ACL injury.

The Rockets next take the court against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday evening.

Utah Jazz forward Vince Williams Jr. has suffered a torn left ACL and will undergo season-ending surgery, league sources told ClutchPoints on Tuesday. An MRI Tuesday morning confirmed Utah’s initial fears, and Williams will spend most of the upcoming offseason recovering from this major knee injury.

The injury occurred on Monday night, when the Jazz were on the road to face the Houston Rockets. With about nine minutes left in the second quarter, Williams was running alongside Terry Eason after Utah turned the ball over. In transition, Eason appeared to intentionally bump Williams to get a better position for a 2-on-1 opportunity.

Then Williams’ right knee buckled under him and moved inward. He immediately fell to the ground, holding his right knee in front of the jazz bench. Will Hardy was angry at the officials for not making the call, as Eason’s physical position with Williams in the game could have easily been considered an offensive foul.

Williams, who was in obvious pain, did not put any weight on his leg as Jazz staff members carried him to the locker room.

According to the Deseret News, after the game, Eason went to the Jazz locker room and checked on Williams, and said he had great “respect” for him and had no “intention” to injure him. Eason apologized for the unfortunate injury and clarified that he had no intention of trying to hurt Williams during the game.

“Not feeling very good,” Hardy said succinctly in his postgame comments. “That’s not basketball.”

Williams was traded to the Jazz on February 3 in an eight-player deal with the Memphis Grizzlies that also sent All-Star big man Jaren Jackson Jr. to Salt Lake City. Jackson was recently signed off by the Jazz and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 NBA season after undergoing surgery to remove a localized pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) growth in his left knee.

In six games with the Jazz, Williams averaged 4.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in approximately 14.0 minutes per game. This season, he has shot 35.3 percent from the floor and 31.1 percent from 3-point range with Memphis and Utah.

联盟消息人士周二告诉 ClutchPoints，犹他爵士队前锋小文斯·威廉姆斯左前十字韧带撕裂，将接受赛季结束的手术。周二早上的核磁共振检查证实了犹他州最初的恐惧，威廉姆斯将在即将到来的休赛期的大部分时间里从这次严重的膝伤中恢复过来。

受伤发生在周一晚上，当时爵士队将在客场迎战休斯敦火箭队。第二节还剩大约九分钟时，在犹他队将球失误后，威廉姆斯与塔里·伊森并肩奔跑。在攻防转换中，伊森似乎有意撞击威廉姆斯，以获得更好的位置以获得二对一的机会。

就在那时，威廉姆斯的右膝在他身下弯曲并向内过度伸展。他立即倒地，在爵士队替补席前抓住了右膝。威尔·哈迪对裁判没有做出判罚感到愤怒，因为伊森在比赛中与威廉姆斯的身体接触很容易被视为进攻犯规。

威廉姆斯明显感到疼痛，爵士工作人员把他抬进更衣室时，他的腿上没有承受任何重量。

据《德塞雷特新闻》报道，赛后，伊森特意前往爵士队更衣室查看威廉姆斯的情况，表示自己非常“尊重”威廉姆斯，并且“无意”伤害他。伊森对不幸的受伤表示歉意，并明确表示他无意在比赛中伤害威廉姆斯。

“看起来不太好，”哈迪在赛后评论中简短地说。 “那不是篮球。”

威廉姆斯于 2 月 3 日被交易到爵士队，与孟菲斯灰熊队达成了八名球员的交易，该交易还将全明星大个子小贾伦·杰克逊送到了盐湖城。杰克逊最近被爵士队停赛，在接受手术切除左膝局部色素沉着绒毛结节性滑膜炎 (PVNS) 后，他可能会缺席 2025-26 NBA 赛季的剩余比赛。

在与爵士队的六场比赛中，威廉姆斯场均上场约 14.0 分钟，得到 4.7 分和 3.2 个篮板。本赛季，他在孟菲斯和犹他爵士队的投篮命中率为 35.3%，三分命中率为 31.1%。

紐約巨人隊正準備進入吉姆·哈博時代。主教練和球隊都希望明星外接手馬利克·納伯斯早日上場。

儘管如此，納伯斯仍在從嚴重的膝傷中恢復過來。他的半月板和前十字韌帶撕裂。目前還沒有外接手回歸的時間表。但 ESPN 的喬丹·拉南 (Jordan Raanan) 表示，他最新的傷病言論肯定會讓巨人隊球迷感到樂觀。

“馬利克·納伯斯告訴我，他的康復效果“非常出色”。事實上，除了 10 月份的 ACL 手術外，他還進行了完整的半月板修復手術。這解釋了他上個月戴著拐杖+支架的原因，”拉南說。 “通常，完全半月板修復確實會延長恢復時間。”

由於需要接受完整的半月板和前十字韌帶手術，巨人隊在納伯斯重返賽場時可能會更加謹慎。他們最不想做的就是再次受傷的風險。但至少，接球手對他的回歸充滿信心。他將在整個休賽期繼續康復，巨人隊將決定如何最好地處理他。

當納伯斯回歸時，這將極大地促進巨人隊的進攻。在代表紐約隊出戰的 19 場比賽中，這位接球手完成 127 次搶球，推進 1,475 碼並取得 9 次達陣。大部分的表現都發生在他的新秀賽季，當時納伯斯被選入職業碗。

在哈博的帶領下，巨人隊看起來會大不相同。但他們希望納伯斯仍然是進攻中穩定、健康和致命的一部分。

It is a medical report that would end the season for any other athlete: a completely ruptured ACL, bone bruising, and meniscal damage.

But for Lindsey Vonn, it is simply the latest obstacle in a career defined by them.

Just one week before her highly anticipated return to the Olympic stage at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Games, the 41-year-old American legend has stunned the sports world by refusing to withdraw.

Instead, she is already back on the slopes, testing her stability with a heavy-duty knee brace and the ultimate competitor’s mentality, that has even seasoned orthopedic surgeons shaking their heads in disbelief.

The crisis began last Friday during a World Cup downhill in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Vonn lost control landing a jump, hurtling into the safety netting at high speed. While she was able to gingerly ski to the bottom, she was eventually airlifted to a hospital.

On Tuesday, standing tall and remarkably without a limp, Vonn addressed a packed room of reporters in Cortina to confirm the severity of the injury.

“I completely ruptured my ACL,” Vonn said. “I also have bone bruising… plus meniscal damage. But my knee is not swollen, and with the help of a knee brace, I am confident I can compete on Sunday.”

On Thursday, just one day before the Opening Ceremony, Vonn shared a workout video that went viral across social media.

Set to Andy Grammer’s “Don’t Give Up On Me,” the footage shows Vonn performing weighted squats, rapid-fire box jumps, and lateral lunges—movements that require extreme ligament stability.

She captioned the video: “I’m not giving up, working as hard as I can to make it happen! Thank you to my team and everyone for your incredible support. Keep believing.”

舊金山 49 人隊 (San Francisco 49ers) 的 2025 賽季最近在 NFL 季后賽第二輪客場慘敗給分區對手西雅圖海鷹隊 (Seattle Seahawks)，落下帷幕。在這場比賽中，49 人隊的比賽立刻就脫軌了，海鷹隊在開球後回攻達陣，之後再也沒有回頭。

儘管結局令人失望，但考慮到球隊必須應對大量傷病，包括尼克·博薩和弗雷德·華納等防守端關鍵球員的傷病，這對於 49 人隊來說仍然是一個相對令人印象深刻的賽季。

最近，NBC Sports 的 49 人隊內部人士詹妮弗·李·陳 (Jennifer Lee Chan) 報導了博薩因 ACL 受傷而縮短了 2025 年賽季，舊金山球迷何時可以期待他重返賽場。

“尼克·博薩有望在訓練營期間回歸，”陳在 X（前 Twitter）上報導。

陳還指出，“阿爾弗雷德·柯林斯可能會在休賽期接受肩部手術。”

與此同時，49人隊希望如果他們能在季后賽中取得進一步的進步，華納也許能夠重返陣容，但不幸的是，他們在客場以41-6的比分在西雅圖慘敗。

過去幾年，傷病一直是 49 人隊的一大主題，喬治·基特爾 (George Kittle) 在季后賽中跟腱撕裂，明星外接手布蘭登·艾尤克 (Brandon Aiyuk) 也因傷缺席了陣容。本賽季早些時候，四分衛布洛克·珀迪缺席了多場比賽，需要替補麥克·瓊斯首發，他的出色表現引起了一些人的注意，並且可能會在這個休賽期受到其他球隊的關注。

49 人隊在 9 月份開始 2026 賽季時，肯定會希望能有更好的傷病運氣。

帕特里克·馬霍姆斯在堪薩斯城酋長隊第 15 週以 16-13 輸給洛杉磯閃電隊的比賽中遭受了前交叉韌帶撕裂。這次傷病可能會讓這位明星四分衛缺席下賽季的大部分比賽。然而，馬霍姆斯心裡有一個不同的計劃，他為 2026-27 賽季設定了一個鼓舞人心的目標。

據 NFL Network 的奧馬爾·魯伊斯 (Omar Ruiz) 報導，有報導稱，這位 30 歲的四分衛已經設定了在下賽季第一周之前重返賽場的目標。馬霍姆斯聲稱康復進展順利，醫生告訴他他的目標是可能的，但這很大程度上取決於他的康復之路。

“酋長隊 四分衛帕特里克·馬霍姆斯表示康復進展順利，醫生必須阻止他更加努力。他說他的目標是努力為第一周做好準備並不受限制地比賽。他說他的醫生說這是可能的，但還有很長的路要走。 ”

ACL 撕裂的平均恢復時間為 6 至 12 個月。截至本文發佈時，這位三屆超級碗冠軍得主的傷病已經康復一個月了。因此，為了讓馬霍姆斯實現他的目標，他可能需要在六月或七月之前顯示出左膝健康穩定的跡象。

儘管酋長隊在 2025-26 賽季表現不佳並錯過了季后賽，但帕特里克·馬霍姆斯的表現與他在 2024-25 賽季的表現不相上下。在今年參加的 14 場比賽中，這位六屆職業保齡球手取得了 3,587 傳球碼數和 27 次達陣（22 次傳球，5 次沖球），傳球成功率為 62.7%。

如果他沒有受傷，他的場均傳球碼數為 256.2 碼，本賽季的傳球碼數為 4,355 碼。對於馬霍姆斯職業生涯中單賽季傳球碼數第四多的人來說，這已經足夠了。

週六晚，綠灣包裝工隊在 NFL 季后賽外卡輪比賽中慘敗於分區對手芝加哥熊隊，結束了 2025 年賽季。本場比賽包裝工隊半場以21-3領先，但下半場雙方都表現疲軟，最終以31-27落敗。

現在可能很難記住，但包裝工隊今年在與眾多傷病作鬥爭時確實表現出了一定的韌性，其中包括明星衝傳手米卡·帕森斯，他在賽季末因前十字韌帶撕裂而倒下。

最近，包裝工隊在 2026 年離職面談中得到了帕森斯下賽季狀態的積極更新。

“邁卡·帕森斯說他希望為第一周做好準備。實際上，他預計第三週會回歸，”The Athletic 的馬特·施奈德曼 (Matt Schneidman) 在 X（前 Twitter）上報導。

帕森斯在今年客場輸給丹佛野馬隊的比賽中前十字韌帶撕裂，綠灣球迷肯定會很高興能在 2026 賽季初期的任何時候讓他回歸。包裝工隊在 2025 賽季開始前一周與達拉斯牛仔隊達成協議，收購了帕森斯，他在綠灣的第一個賽季大部分時間都打出了明星級別的表現，之後因傷退役。

帕森斯並不是包裝工隊今年遭遇的唯一關鍵傷病，四分衛喬丹·樂福和其他許多人也因各種疾病缺席比賽。

然而，這並不會讓周六對陣熊隊的比賽變得更容易接受，現在人們對包裝工隊主教練馬特·拉弗勒爾在最近一次季后賽失利後的未來充滿疑問。

儘管如此，如果帕森斯確實在下賽季初期回歸，包裝工隊將成為 NFL 中最有才華的陣容之一。
