Jock Landale Out with Right Ankle Sprain

Jock Landale has been ruled out with a right ankle sprain — no grade or specific mechanism has been reported, and the team has not provided a return timeline beyond "Out." Ankle sprains are the most frequent injury in the NBA, but without grade confirmation, the clinical picture remains open.

CLASSIFICATION: LIG / Grade Unknown / LE — Right lateral ankle sprain (probable ATFL involvement, mechanism unconfirmed) CONFIDENCE: INSUFFICIENT_DATA — Grade inferred from "ankle sprain" language only; no imaging, mechanism, or severity detail reported. Grade is INFERRED. EVIDENCE TIER: T2 — Moderate Confidence on tissue type; grade-dependent RTP range applies once severity is clarified.

Grade 1 presentations typically resolve in 1–2 weeks; Grade 2 injuries run 2–4 weeks at this level. The "Out" designation without a week-range attached is worth monitoring — if this extends beyond the typical 1–2 week window for a routine sprain, the bone stress escalation pattern (persistent same-site soreness → extended absence) warrants a flag. April context also matters here: with the regular season winding down, team standing will determine whether this is a managed rest decision or a genuine injury absence. Watch for a grade clarification or imaging disclosure to update this estimate.
