Celtics just did it with Zingus and Horford.Does load management ever actually work? Like has a team won a ring by doing this?
Not sure it would work quite the same if they had to do it with The Jays though.

That non dynasty in San Antonio started it and now everyone does it. If David stern would have took it serious when they pulled that stunt against the heat in 2013, it wouldn’t be an issue now. The only good thing that has came from it is they got rid of 4 games in 5 nights.Does load management ever actually work? Like has a team won a ring by doing this?
It’s hard to judge how effective Kawhi’s load management has been with the Clippers because in two different seasons his playoff run was ended by a contact injury. 2021 he took a knee from Joe Ingles in the second round and ended up with a partially torn ACL. Missed the whole next season because of it. 2023, he tears his meniscus in the 1st round against the Suns.It worked with kawhi on the raptors... When he was with the clippers I think his health just deteriorated so load management wouldn't make a difference
So that’s what I’m getting at. You are just pushing a potential injury down the line. Embiid can break his face again or somebody fall on his knee in the first round.It’s hard to judge how effective Kawhi’s load management has been with the Clippers because in two different seasons his playoff run was ended by a contact injury. 2021 he took a knee from Joe Ingles in the second round and ended up with a partially torn ACL.

So, in most of the years he was with the Clippers when he load managed, he got one playoffs healthy, which was the goal, but got injured during the playoffs.
This last playoffs in 2024 was different. He just couldn’t go because of inflammation; not a specific injury. You may be right that he’s reached a point that his knee has degenerated to the point that load management won’t matter. But that wasn’t always the case.
How does this work?
Offenses getting shots closer to the rim because defenses have been spread out.How does this work?
People stopped taking bad midrange jumpshots.
