Jock Landale (Suns) Out With Right Ankle Sprain

Jock Landale is listed as Out with a right ankle sprain — no specific grade or timeline has been provided beyond the Out designation. Ankle sprains are the most common injury in the NBA, but the absence of any return window and the timing (mid-April, end of regular season) adds ambiguity: this could range from a minor lateral ankle sprain managed conservatively through the close of the regular season, to something more significant.

Grade is INFERRED — no imaging results or clinical confirmation have been reported. Based on reported language ("Out," no timeline), the severity is UNKNOWN. The lateral ankle complex (ATFL/CFL) is the most probable tissue involved, classified LIG / Grade Unknown / LE.

Evidence Tier: T2 (Moderate Confidence on tissue type; grade and severity unconfirmed). April context note: Suns are not in playoff contention for the 2025–26 season, which elevates the probability that this absence reflects conservative management through the end of a lost season rather than an acute high-grade injury. Watch for any imaging disclosure or updated designation that would allow grade clarification.
