Was waiting for this news. I think this is like the thing with Lebron’s ab and groin issue earlier, where he could have played had he needed to, but took his time to get healthy. Wouldn’t surprise me to see him take a week off. The numbers on his workload have been insane this year.

Honestly, the workload for him shouldn't be this concerning. He's in his prime. Kobe, Bron, KD, Iverson, etc all played much more minutes and games in their primes. It's getting a little annoying how much caution we have to have with him in his prime.

You’re comparing him to the most insanely durable players in NBA history. The guys you mentioned are the .01 percenters, and if they’re your standard for durability then almost everyone’s durability should be concerning.

So then why does he get paid max money then? Shouldn't durability be a factor in order to get max money?? So what you're saying is AD is no where near .01 percenters. Gotcha....

Monk has only hit one three since LeBron chewed him out for taking a wide-open triple. He should be the one to talk, with all his ill-advised, last second threes this season.

Whatever, the AD hate has reached cartoonish levels on this place and I’m done arguing the point.

Well then, they're doing what they are suppose to do. They need to stop showboating though. This the Magic and they're missing like 4 starters...

LeBron is unbelievable. Seriously. Kobe’s age 37 season was his last season. Put that into perspective. We need him to remain healthy.

Glad this team has a couple days off. I hope AD comes back from this little break and decides to dominate. Also hopefully we get Ariza back on Wednesday.
