Players that would still be playing right now if not for injuries 

Post#1 » by Shock Defeat » Sun Mar 27, 2022 6:19 pm

Which players would still be playing right now had they been able to stay healthy?

Brandon Roy would be 37 and probably a nice contributor off the bench for a team.

Andrew Bynum is a 34 year old center playing for the Lakers playing the current Dwight howard role

Parsons and maybe Asik as a 10 minute bench big?

Chris Bosh would be playing a Channing Frye-type role.

Demarcus cousins would be a lot more valuable to a team

Crazy how young Bynum is.

Andrew Bynum didn't stop playing because of injuries. He stopped playing because he didn't want to be a basketball player.

False. He had a chronic issue that needed constant treatment to remain in the NBA.

Isaiah Thomas is technically still in the NBA, but his career earnings and role/playing time would be more like Lowry's.

Brandon Roy would be a solid role player at 37 years of age.

Pretty sure teams can still use JJ Redick if he didn't have lingering injuries
