I'm not sure its a HIPPA issue, other sports don't seem to have this problem, hockey is notorious for stating injuries during the playoffs are either an upper body injury or lower body injury.

I'm fine with them not disclosing the exact injury but the prognosis swing from one extreme to the other is what I have an issue with, going from a slight knock be back soon to surgery and out months is ridiculous.

I 100% agree with you that the league does not care about the fans being informed and good point that this type of thing can impact fan attendance and I think fan engagement overall, we see this uproar when Messi is scheduled to play, then for some reason he doesn't and people are in an uproar.

Personally, I think that the league should have some type(s) of injury status that would allow a team to bring in short term replacements. These could be NextPro players without using up their 4 game promotion allowance or even free agents subject to some sort of salary limit, for example the per game pro rata of the teams average non-DP salaries.
