I don’t understand the people complaining about the players taking a break lol. They need those breaks or they will get hurt. It’s scientifically proven if you exert yourself at a high intensity while fatigued your risk for injury doubles or triples.

Sorry but this seems incredibly short sighted to me. Would you rather enjoy Steph Curry once in Detroit to potentially risk losing out on the longevity of his career? It would be more tragic to watch him fizzle out because he tried to play every single game.

How fatigue is measured in professional sports these days is quite intense. You show up the day of a game and get assessed. Maybe you didn’t get enough sleep, maybe you slept in a funny position, maybe you accidentally pushed your self too hard in a work out. If you don’t score well on the assessment there’s no way the team is going to risk playing you.

I’d rather see these players break records than get burnt out early for the sake of mid season game.
