Durability Story · Watch

Derwin James Jr.'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 5 different seasons; 2022 was the rough one at 1 missed; reinjury band sits at High. The news desk has been quieter lately, so the structured history is doing most of the talking.

For fantasy, Derwin 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.
