So that load management cannot be done when games are played on national TV?
I thought this is based on what the player feeling with his health in the game, and he needs to rest if needed to protect himself.
You can only do load management if the player is injured, to prevent further injury. That is with the doctors professional consent, not with the players feeling.
What if they are on a back to back games, first game is not televised on national TV, then a player can choose not to play because he is obliged to play the next game tomorrow because its on a national live TV.
I think that is right. They can opt to load manage on games not nationally televised or else they get fined.
Now, this clearly tells me that NBA is just all about the money. lets get real
NBA is about money. You cannot run that organization without income.
As said doctors will provide like a documentation to explain everything.
But those doctors are still within the NBA jurisdiction so we will go back to nothing.
They are professionals. If they lie, they put their reputation and career at risk.
