Durability Story · Watch

Cameron Heyward's durability file isn’t one dramatic injury — it’s a pattern. The same lower-body soft-tissue themes keep resurfacing. Evidence check: injury reports across 10 different seasons; 2016 was the rough one at 3 missed; longest on-report absence ran 2 weeks in 2016 (Wk 6–7); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Cameron is startable but fragile: keep a handcuff or streaming backup ready when the next soft-tissue note lands.

Based on injury history + recent reporting. Not a medical diagnosis.
