Latest Update on the Most Mysterious Injuries in the NBA

Injuries can wreck an NBA season for anyone and right now there are a lot of superstars wearing street clothes on game night.

Some guys in particular who were thought to not miss a great deal of time are still out of action.

Here's the latest look at some of the current injuries around the NBA.

Dwyane Wade

Wade has missed the last four games with a sprained ankle, but he's got other issues to worry about as well including a strained calf and bruised foot that bothered him earlier on.

He's listed as day-to-day, but you have to wonder if Wade will ever be completely healthy all season.

Ray Allen

The Celtics are struggling. Despite embarrassing the Orlando Magic Monday night, they can't afford to have their stars in street clothes.

Their currently missing Allen with what is being called a jammed ankle, but point guard Rajon Rondo is also banged up with a sprained right wrist.

Both stars are listed as day-to-day.

Spencer Hawes

The Sixers were dealt a blow when Hawes sat out a game to rest his back, but it's an Achilles injury that has had him out the last four games.

His immediate status is unknown, but it looks like he will miss some more time.

Andrea Bargnani

Bargnani was having an All-Star start to the season, but hasn't played since leaving a game on January 12 with a calf injury.

He's listed as day-to-day but could miss some more time.

The Raptors sure could use him back in the lineup as they are in the middle of an eight-game losing streak.

J.J. Barea

Barea's sprained ankle is better, but he keeps suffering from a hamstring injury that has forced him to miss six of Minnesota's last seven games.

He hasn't had the impact Minnesota would have hoped for as he's missed 11 of the Wolves 17 games and likely will miss a few more.

Chris Paul

Paul remains out of the Clippers lineup with a sore hamstring.

He probably could have played Sunday against Toronto, but the Clippers are being cautious with him.

Paul could return to the lineup Wednesday against the Lakers.

Vince Carter

Carter has been out since January 17 with what is being called a foot injury.

He will miss some more time as the Mavericks say he's out indefinitely for the time being.

Dirk Nowitzki

Nowitzki is also out of the Mavericks lineup for a minimum of four games with what's being described as a sore knee.

He described the time off as a chance to rest his knee and work on his overall conditioning.

Nowitzki is expected to return Sunday against San Antonio.

Eric Gordon

Gordon has played only two games for his new team after the Hornets shut him down with a sore right knee.

While it was originally thought he was nearing a return, Gordon could potentially miss at least three more weeks.
