On this episode Mike & Jason react to the first week of the NBA season and its wave of injuries. They ask whether the cause is AAU basketball, wear and tear, or just heavier media coverage. Then they go team by team through the big injuries: Orlando losing Paolo Banchero and Jalen Suggs, Oklahoma City losing Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace, Minnesota's Anthony Edwards sidelined for two months, Kawhi Leonard out indefinitely, and Jaren Jackson Jr.'s torn MCL in Utah. They then cover Utah's slow start and the big four rookies, Miami's shooting and spacing problems around Giannis, and the Knicks' rough opening. They also give brief takes on Houston's strong start, Cooper Flagg in Dallas, and the Pacers and Hornets. The show ends with a detour into the Browns' 5–2 start, where Jason says a win on Sunday makes them a playoff team.
