LeBron James blamed the growing number of NBA playoff injuries on a lack of rest during the shortened offseason and said he knew it would happen, but the league didn’t listen.
“They didn’t all want to listen to me about the start of the season. I knew exactly what was going to happen. I just wanted to protect the well-being of the players which is ultimately THE PRODUCT AND ADVANTAGE OF OUR GAME! aren’t just part of THE GAME. It’s the lack of PURE RIM REST rest before you start over, “James tweeted in a series of posts Wednesday.
“8, maybe 9 ALL-STARS have missed playoff games (most in league history). It’s the best time of year for our league and our fans, but it’s missing a ton of our favorite players, it’s crazy.
“If there is one person who knows the body and how it works all year round, it’s ME! I speak for the health of all of our players and I hate to see so many injuries this time of year. Sorry, fans would like you to see all of your favorite guys right now.
“And I know all about the business side / factors, so don’t even try me!” I understand. “
Earlier Wednesday, it was announced that Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard is set to miss Game 5 against the Utah Jazz and may be out for longer with a knee injury. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving is sidelined with an ankle injury and will miss Game 6 against the Milwaukee Bucks.
