Looks like many of the key players are having injuries prior to the playoffs. Just hours ago, it was Jayson Tatum that landed on Domantas Sabonis. That was a good shot from three though but while watching that, we can feel the absolute pain that Tatum has felt. I'm guessing that he's going to miss their next match for sure. But I wish that he's going to recover on that injury quickly.
While there are some situations where it is true that players are injured. It is also good to remember that most players just stay off further than could, just to rest before the playoffs. Remember, these guys played 60+ games, and because of that, they have to rest and relax before the playoffs come. So if they have a week long injury, then they take two weeks, because seeding isn't an issue for most.
Lebron did the same, not that he came back amazing, but he took as long as he has to just to rest. They will come back before the playoffs, and they will be rested and get some fitness going and they will play better thanks to this instead of just tiring themselves out until the playoffs and have nothing left in the tank.
