Why do I see more and more NBA players getting injured. Is it just me or has it always been like this. NBA players in the 80s and 90s seem more durable and tougher. I realise in todays sports keep an athlete's healthy and performance-ready is extremely important. There is more technology and methods to maintain and enhance athlete to play become faster-better and stronger. The first major injury that I notice watching the 2017-18 season was none other than Gordan Hayward. Now aim not saying he is soft for completely breaking his ankle. This was misfortunate and it seems he has recovered very well. I am talking about players who got a bruised toe got kicked or sustained a slight tackle from an opposition and had to be ruled out not to play for months.
This is a list of someone of the players that got injured, some worst than others
Jeremy Lin Knee
Kevin Love Hand
Paul Millsap Wrist
Tyreke Evans Ribs
Jimmy Butler Knee
DeMarcus Cousins Achilles
Kristaps Porzingis ACL
Kawhi Leonard Quad
ohn Wall Knee
Isaiah Thomas
I hate when these things happen because some key players are important to their teams, now that there out other team could easily win without having star players in the game. To be the best you should play with the best.
This post has just been my thoughts on the fact that this seems to be happening more often and the reason to it, I do not know why. The little injuries are what I think should be something that should not lead to months of recovery.
