Western Conference vs Eastern Conference Injury Reports for February 18, 2024

Two players won't play in the 2024 NBA All-Star Game. Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers and Julius Randle of the New York Knicks are injured and can't suit up for the Eastern Conference. They have been replaced by Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks and Scottie Barnes of the Toronto Raptors.

Meanwhile, the Western Conference has a clean bill of health. Some NBA fans were hoping that there could be a couple of injuries, so that Domantas Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox of the Sacramento Kings could have been named All-Star replacements.

Western Conference Injury Report

The Western Conference has a clean bill of health heading into the 2024 NBA All-Star Game.

The West All-Stars are complete, but there were some doubts about Kawhi Leonard's adductor injury before the All-Star break. However, it seems like he'll be playing tonight against the East.

LeBron James missed the All-Star Practice and Media Day, but there was no reason given for his absence. James is expected to play and will be available to the media on Sunday night.


Eastern Conference Injury Report

The Eastern Conference has two injured players – Joel Embiid and Julius Randle. Embiid underwent knee surgery earlier this month to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee but is expected to return later in the season.

Randle, meanwhile, suffered a dislocated right shoulder and has missed the last nine games for the New York Knicks before the All-Star break. He's making progress in his rehab and will be re-evaluated next week.
