Durability Story · Watch

Open Oren Burks' injury ledger and you keep seeing Chest, Shoulder, and Knee. That repetition is the story. Evidence check: injury reports across 6 different seasons; 2 games missed in the last three (2023: 2); 2019 was the rough one at 4 missed; longest on-report absence ran 4 weeks in 2019 (Wk 1–4); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Oren 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.
