With regards to "load management", I'll just note that Michael Jordan played in all 82 games in 9 out of his 15 seasons. He played 81, 80, and 78 games in three of the other seasons.
The only three seasons in which he played fewer than 78 games were the three in which he was actually injured.
And he played all 82 games in his final season.....at age 39.
What does that say about current players?
