And Golden State, John! Curry was injured in their playoff hunt.
Satkar, I second John's comments. Injuries are a part of all professional sports now.
Thanks for the posts!!

Thanks, Satkar, for your analysis of recent NBA trends.
You might consider expanding your work to include analysis of "load management," the idea of resting players (either fewer minutes per game or sitting out some games in the schedule such as the second of two games held on consecutive nights). Some have conjectured that resting players more often may decrease the prevalence of injuries which seem to have increased in recent years.
During this past season, the Cleveland, Boston, Milwaukee, and Indiana teams (4 of the best 5 teams in the Eastern Conference) all had excellent players whose injuries meaningfully hindered their playoff chances.

Subject: Blog Post: My Take on NBA Trend Analysis Using Analytical SQL Patterns
I recently explored key trends in NBA history by building an analytical warehouse designed to answer some thought-provoking questions. Drawing from the process and insights I gained throughout the project, I've documented my approach and findings in a blog post. I'd truly appreciate any feedback or suggestions to help me improve my work further.
