Get the current NBA injury report from Basketball-Reference.
One row per injured player with team, the date the status was last updated and the injury note (status + description). No API key is required.
Note on RotoWorld: RotoWorld was a long-standing NBA injuries source, but
NBC shut it down (it now redirects to nbcsports.com/fantasy and the injuries
tool is gone). This function uses Basketball-Reference's live injury report
instead, which is maintained and carries the same player / team / status /
note fields.

| col_name | types | description |
| player | character | Player name. |
| team_name | character | Team name. |
