Who Can Carry The Load?

Should we have a load management thread? I think we should, it's going to be an ongoing story all year. Already, the Clippers have been fined for dissenting stories about Kawhi's health and way he sat this week.

Other than maybe Hayward and Walker, I don’t think anyone should be seeing days off purely for load management.
However, I do hope that as with Jaylen recently, when there is a nagging something, be it illness or injury, that the player be kept OUT until he’s ready.
I think that for most players, over the course of a season, that’s probably 4-8 games off.

Didn't Popovich once rest Duncan with a DNP: Old as the reason why?

Did the NBA not care about that verbiage?

It's changed because more people are doing it and from the NBA's standpoint, it's messing with some televised games.

Not to mention gambling.

Lots of injuries this year which we seem to say almost every year. Imagine anyone actually against LM for these countless and mostly meanigless regular season games? LM should be used more often and not just for star players as long as the current schedule stands the way it is.
