Thoughts on this? Honestly, hope this also means we’ll see him load manage less (assuming he doesn’t have a freak injury). I’d be ok with this if they’re expecting him to play like 70+ games. That said, if he’s only going to play around 50 games then I feel like this minute restriction is basically just going to make the Lakers lose a lot more games.
I think for a lot of games, that will be the case. Tough road games, back-to-backs, etc. But for any playoff game, he’s playing 38+.
