Oklahoma City Thunder General Manager Sam Presty pushed back on how the NBA is preparing the recent season’s upliftment, saying that it is “almost humiliating”, to argue that there is no connection between sports and players and how many players are getting hurt.
Presti spoke to reporters on Monday to give the city their first championship to win the NBA finals before the free agency and his team on Monday.

Damian lillard And Boston’s Jayson tatamOverall, the NBA saw seven players tearing their acrelages during the season.
“I think one thing we have to do is far from the defensive nature of trying to convince people, players and teams that there is no connection between load and injuries,” said Presty. “I think it’s – we are like limits at such a level, it’s almost derogatory”
His comment was shown directed on NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who told ESPN last week that he did not believe that the season is too long and it is not clear whether the number of sports has nothing to do with injuries.
“When we look back in the last 10 years, Achills suffered most of the injuries before the all-star break,” Silver said. “So, it is not clear that this is the number of sports. And as you know, modern NBA players, even when they are never playing games in summer, they are working more difficult during the season when they play three games a week.”
Presti referred to the NBA’s 65-game rule to qualify for some awards, due to the arrival of these-season tournaments, the condensed schedule and the possible factors allowed by the League as a potential factors allowed recently.
“It is not a matter of players whether they do not want to play or do anything like that,” he said. “But I don’t think we should keep our head in the sand and act as if there is no correlation. The reason is that, if we are pointing to the data-Deta is 20 years ago or 10 years ago. The game is a completely different game than many years ago, the way to work for everyone. We are playing about two games than 10 years ago.”
According to Silver, the league is using artificial intelligence in its search for clues about the injuries of Achilis this season. Presty said that he hoped that the NBA would be less “defensive” in an attempt to find solutions to the issue of injury.
“Keeping our head together and being rational about it and not defensive, trying to produce numbers and data that indicates that the more you play, the healthy you are.”
