Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards has criticised fellow NBA all-stars and players across the league for sitting out of games to rest their bodies.
In recent years, NBA players have become more critical of the stringent schedule - having 82 games in 173 days this season - as players struggle to keep up with the physical demands and limit the stress on their body before the all-important playoffs, in a term that has been labelled as 'load management' - a new status regularly seen on injury reports.
It's something that players have been criticised for by analysts, with the vast majority of stars who have done so stating that it's a necessity to keep themselves healthy throughout the season.
