Dealing with the coronavirus was the priority for the NBA in 2020-21, but as the end of the season nears, data suggests the league saw a dramatic increase in injuries not related to COVID-19.







Some team health officials said the effects will drive how they manage player health for next season.

The average number of players sidelined per game due to injury, non-COVID-19 illness or rest this season was 5.1 (includes both teams), according to ESPN's Kevin Pelton, the highest since he started tracking it in 2009-10. That does not include games missed by players in the health and safety protocols. The next highest season was 4.8, so 2020-21 was 5% higher.

The increase was even more pronounced when focusing on the league's stars. This season's All-Stars missed 370 of a possible 1,944 games (19%), the highest percentage in a season in NBA history, according to Elias Sports Bureau research. They missed an average of 13.7 regular-season games each this year.

Throughout the season, team health officials and executives internally feared a spate of soft-tissue injuries, such as hamstring strains. Earlier this week, Brooklyn Nets star guard James Harden exited Game 1 of the second-round series against the Milwaukee Bucks because of right hamstring aggravation. Similarly, Jazz point guard Mike Conley missed Tuesday's Game 1 vs. the LA Clippers because of a mild right hamstring strain. In the regular season, the same injuries caused Harden to miss more than a month and Conley to miss six games in February and nine games in April and May.

These types of injuries can be tied to fatigue and stress. Fear of an increase in these injuries grew more pronounced when the schedule condensed late in the season as teams made up games postponed due to COVID-19 issues.

There were 2,909 games lost to soft-tissue injuries this regular season, according to certified athletic trainer Jeff Stotts, who maintains the most authoritative public injury-tracking database that covers the NBA. It's the second-highest figure Stotts has recorded since he began tracking in 2005-06. The most was 3,038 in the 2017-18 season, which was played in 82 games vs. the 72-game campaign this year.

But you said it said due to injury, non-covid illness, or rest. Show me the separation in games missed due to rest and due to injury or illness.

Again, turning an ankle, pulling a hamstring, spraining a knee, all things that can happen in the sport fully rested.
 
Quickest path is a straight line

why does Morris have to take a detour because Goober let PG punk him :smh:

So how many days in between games will stop injuries from happening? How many months is a good off season to stop injuries from happening? How many games should be played in a season?
 
Why did PG sit for the last minute?
Great half for him. He’s really showing out rn.
I know Mitchell struggled but I like the clippers game plan. Keep doubling spyda and force Utah to keep making threes. They can’t keep up this shooting %. I’d feel good with that half if I was Ty Lue.
 
Man just caught up on the thread. Looks like a missed a vintage Glen Rivers’ choke job.

tried to told #y’all Sixers ain’t winning another game.
