Will the NBA’s plan to crack down on load management work?
Will the NBA’s plan to crack down on load management by imposing hefty fines for star players who sit out nationally televised games work? Depending on what one has as a definition of “working,” it could — but the devil is in the details.
With star players being considered as those who have made an All-NBA or All-Star team in the last three seasons, there are less than 50 such players in the league to even worry about — and for fans of the Boston Celtics, even less so given that is just Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown who these rules apply to in Boston.
So will this new rule coupled with the limits on 65 games played for full season awards be enough to finally solve excessive load management in the league?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast got together on a recent episode to discuss it — check the video above to hear what they think ahead of a comprehensive look at the West for 2023-24.
