Ravens center Danny Pinter tore his patellar tendon during a Wednesday practice with the Vikings, a injury that is likely to end his season, leaving Baltimore to rely on Ethan Pocic and Jovaughn Gwyn at center after Tyler Linderbaum’s departure in free agency.
Dr. Evan Jeffries explains Durant's knee contusion is a deep bruise to the patellar tendon that can cause pain, swelling, and reduced motion, potentially delaying his playoff return; while he may try to play Game 2, clearance depends on pain-free tests and avoiding recurrence, with jumping and speed likely to be bothersome even after returning. The discussion also notes similar runner's-knee issues for Curry and Edwards, and that Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are unlikely to play this series.
Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater tore his patellar tendon, will undergo surgery, and miss the entire 2025 season, impacting their offensive line plans.
Miami Heat's Victor Oladipo tore his left patellar tendon during the fourth quarter of their game against the Milwaukee Bucks, which will end his 10th NBA season. This is the latest in a series of injuries for the former All-Star, who has suffered from ruptured quad tendons and knee tendinosis in the past. Oladipo will likely opt into his $9.45 million player option this summer.
New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz will undergo surgery to repair a full-thickness tear of the patellar tendon in his right knee, with a general timeline for recovery of around eight months. Diaz was injured during the celebration after closing out last night's World Baseball Classic quarterfinal matchup. With Diaz sidelined for what could be the entire season, the Mets' bullpen will instead lean on veterans like David Robertson and Adam Ottavino in the late innings. Diaz's absence will place a strain on the relief corps as a whole and perhaps spur the Mets to explore the market to bring in some bullpen help from outside the organization.
