Interesting take.
I don’t know if slowing the game down would cause an immediate change in decline of injuries.

My first immediate thought would be a change in types of injuries.

A lot of elbows were thrown back in the day.

Also more games = more risk of injury

I think perhaps we are still looking at the issue through a microscope, and have tunnel vision. What if there are statistics linked to the injuries that we haven’t accounted for? Emotional states/ game importance/ rivalry, games

Also overuse injuries can be tricky. Too many what ifs involved.
The human body is really adaptive, and should adapt to whatever needs are being challenged.

So there is a fine balance to be met between endurance conditioning and overuse.

Yeah but as was pointed out in the jxmy highroller video there were far fewer games missed then as well.
 
Something to keep an eye out for is that if more stars are getting injured, and now we have a min number of games for NBA awards, and NBA awards are tied to bonuses/raises, then things could get messy. The immediate consequence is a larger number of players are going to be eligible for super max deals.

But it is obvious the NBA doesn't care about any of that as long as the product sells, and frankly the players don't either as long as they continue getting the obscene paydays.

I wouldn’t care either. When I’ve had my major injuries I got them for free. And my employer wasn’t listing me as “out” or “doubtful” or “questionable,” either.

Oh believe me I get it. I would love to make 5 mill a year to sit on the end of the bench or be injured for half the year. Yeah injuries suck but a multi-million dollar payday has a way of easing the pain.
 
I doubt it’s a serious thought but how hilarious would it be if Tim hamstrung the Wolves for a decade and then left town a year later.
 
What if he’s actually just slowly working his way around the league secretly working for the Jazz. When the Wiz give up their future firsts plus Deni for Sexton we will know he’s a full on saboteur
