NBA Questions Load Management Amidst Lack of Scientific Validation

Joe Dumars, the Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations for the NBA, has openly criticized the practice of load management, citing the absence of scientific data supporting its efficacy. Furthermore, he has urged all players to strive for a full 82-game regular season participation.

Joe Dumars, a former NBA player and current executive within the NBA, shared his perspective on load management, noting that scientific data does not provide a strong foundation for the practice often used to prevent player injuries.

"We've gathered substantial data, and it simply does not demonstrate a clear link between resting or sitting players out and a reduced risk of injuries or fatigue," emphasized the former NBA All-Star.

Nonetheless, Dumars qualified his statement by adding, "What the data does indicate is that players may experience reduced efficiency on the second night of a back-to-back."

Despite this, Dumars maintains that players should prioritize playing the full 82 games.

"Every player should aspire to complete all 82 games. That's the culture we aim to reestablish," emphasized Dumars.

Dumars's remarks follow the NBA Board of Governors' regulations enacted in September. These regulations limit teams from implementing load management for star players during games broadcast nationally in the United States and for the In-Season Tournament. Additionally, teams face constraints on resting multiple star players for a single game and are further limited in sitting out players during away games.

According to The Athletic, only 12 out of the top 50 NBA scorers participated in 70 or more regular season games, underscoring the common use of the so-called load management approach.
