Softest team in the NBA

Karl Malone is shaking his head everytime a Jazz player sits out for a finger/toe injury. In the old days, you sit out only if your hand or foot is amputated...

Easy to be judgy from in front of our TV and cozy fireplace. Truth is, we have absolutely no clue how injured they are or how much pain they are in. Also would be pretty dumb to prolong injuries by playing before they are healed.

Fair point. But also that's on the Jazz. There have been no information about the status of our players. The lack of transparency and uncertainty has been quite frustrating.

Even something vague like 'he is making progress, the next step is full on-court contact in the next following weeks'. Just throw us a bone

Yeah but times have definitely changed. Today, when it comes to injuries, the training staff and coaches make the decision as to who plays who doesn't - Rodney Hood confirmed this via Twitter on Monday. Stockton and Malone had the clout to override the trainers and play through injuries.

Today players don't have or want this responsibility. Their agents probably tell them the same thing - too much money on the line.
