Quick Summary

Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand will be rehabbing through October following offseason surgery, which means he will miss the team's first 14 games of the season. Coach Paul Maurice noted that while Marchand may return at the end of October if there are no setbacks, it could take a bit longer. Additionally, teammate Jonah Gadjovich remains out indefinitely as the Panthers continue to explore options for his long-term neck issue, though he was seen skating during training camp.

AI analysis

Story summary

Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand, 38, will miss the first month of the season due to ongoing recovery from offseason surgery. This means he'll be out for at least the team's first 14 games. Coach Paul Maurice announced during training camp that Marchand is rehabbing through October and may return by its end or shortly thereafter, assuming no setbacks occur.

Marchand had a lower-body issue last season, causing him to miss a career-high 30 games, though he was productive in the 52 he played with 27 goals and assists. Last season's issues disrupted Florida’s Stanley Cup ambitions as injuries plagued other key players too. Marchand participated in training camp practices on Thursday but is not yet ready for play.

🔮 The loss means the Pacers will have a tough time getting out of group play in the NBA Cup event, which is now in its fourth year.
🔮 “I had to ask myself a pretty simple question: ‘If people don’t feel that connection when they look at the face, why wouldn’t we try to make it better?’” Wade wrote in an essay published on Friday.
🔮 Also revealed: El Tráfico with the LA Galaxy hosting LAFC on April 10, and a Decision Day matchup of the Hudson River Derby at Yankee Stadium between New York City FC and Red Bull New York on May 8 — the final day of the regular season.
🔮 Oklahoma City wasn’t so fortunate in that regard; Jalen Williams’ horrific leg and ankle injuries could only be repaired by surgery that likely will be season-ending, and Thunder teammate Cason Wallace is looking at a similar long road back after shoulder surgery.
🔮 Minnesota guard Anthony Edwards needs an arthroscopic procedure to alleviate issues with his right knee and will miss several weeks, a person with knowledge of the matter said Tuesday.
🔮 Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder was taken off the court on a stretcher Sunday night, after suffering a serious injury to his lower left leg while getting fouled in a scene that moved some of his teammates to the brink of tears.
🔮 There might have been 500 or so Miami supporters gathered in one of the concourses of Hard Rock Stadium about a half-hour after the Hurricanes (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) held on to beat Florida State last weekend, sticking around to watch the end of the Notre Dame-BYU game.
🔮 The big question about the 76ers entering this dynamic experiment was whether a bunch of big-time scorers like Maxey, Embiid, Brown and James could share the ball enough to keep everyone happy.
🔮 He’ll never catch Bill Russell’s 11 titles, would need two more crowns to tie Michael Jordan’s six, but James — if he wins one in Philly — would be the first player to be part of championship runs by four franchises.
🔮 International players have won the last eight MVP awards; if the annual polling of the league’s general managers proves accurate, that run will go to nine this season — since the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama is their preseason pick to emerge as the trophy winner next spring.
