Crap luck, exactly.
We aren’t talking about an uncoordinated office worker... we’re discussing professional athletes at the highest level. I reject the idea that some of them are more prone than others to have multiple unrelated injuries playing a contact, high speed, sport.
Recurring injuries are a concern. A guy hurting his shoulder and then a year later tearing is ACL is not more prone to injury than his counterparts. Nor would he be if he took a slap shot off the face next season.
