Durability Story · Watch

Luke Gifford'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 6 different seasons; 5 games missed in the last three (2024: 1 and 2023: 4); 2023 was the rough one at 4 missed; longest on-report absence ran 3 weeks in 2019 (Wk 1–3); reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Luke 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.
