Live broadcast, February 19 -nba President Adam Xiaohua was interviewed by the media during the All-Star weekend.
Speaking of player load management, Xiao Hua said: “I admit that many fans sometimes feel disappointed that star players cannot play, but I also understand that the team will consider making preparations for the playoffs first. At present, we have not found a specific solution to the load management problem. It is possible to extend the schedule to reduce back-to-back competitions, but we have not considered reducing competitions.”
“There is no data showing that reducing competitions helps prevent injuries, which is often random. We only played 72 games in the 2021-22 season, which was like an interesting experiment because it did not change the team’s attention to load management.” Xiao Hua said.
