NBA Injury News Alerts From X, Before Your Lineup Locks
Get a push the moment an NBA insider posts that a player is out. Monitor insider accounts on X and filter to injuries and rest days.
Short answer: NBA injury news breaks on X first, from national insiders and team beat writers. Create an AyeWatch X profile monitor for each insider you trust, add the filter "injury updates and players ruled out", and turn on push. You get the injury posts and skip the trade rumors and podcast plugs.
Set it up
- Open Create a monitor → X and choose Profile.
- Paste an insider's profile link, like
https://x.com/ShamsCharania, or your team's beat writer. - In Only alert me about, write "injury updates and players ruled out".
- Pick Hourly on game days, or ASAP mode on Pro+, and click Create monitor.
Prefer one monitor for all sources? Use Search with a query like ("ruled out" OR "will not play" OR questionable) lang:en plus the same filter.
What you get
The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.
Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.
What it costs
An X profile check with the filter is 3 credits.
| Check every | Credits a day | Plan that fits |
|---|---|---|
| A few times a day | 12 | Pro |
| Every 3 hours | 24 | Pro+ |
| Hourly | 72 | Pro+ with top-ups |
Plans: Free Preview gives you 3 credits to try a monitor on a daily check. Pro is $9 a month for 500 credits and checks as often as hourly. Pro+ is $19 a month for 1,500 credits and adds ASAP mode. Failed checks are refunded, and the form shows the exact daily credit use before you save.
Tip: you only need fast checks around tip-off. Switch the schedule up on game days and back down after.
FAQ
Is this faster than the official NBA injury report?
Often. Insiders post scratches before the official report updates. How soon you hear depends on your schedule: hourly or ASAP mode.
Can I track only my fantasy players?
Yes. Put their names in the filter, like 'injury news about Player A, Player B or Player C'.
Does it work for other sports?
Yes. Any X account works. See the NFL version for football.
