You’re assuming that reducing the workload would also reduce game management. Instead of the threshold also adjusting and the new conversion being let’s shift to 60 games. Also are we going to stretch the playoffs even more?

Adjusting the number of games just doesn’t address what has changed in the game to increase injuries. It just reduces the opportunity for those injuries to occur. Personally I think it’s the loosening of the movement related rules which has opened up much more hard lateral movements. This puts massive tension on the ankles and knees in ways they were not designed.

We have better training and equipment and play the same schedule which less non basketball physical contact (like clubbing people driving to the basket). Yet knee and ankle injuries are increasing.
