He's averaging 69 games per season, despite being relatively healthy for his first 4 years. Missing a total of 13 games per season.
He's averaging just 59 games played over the last two seasons, though (61, if he plays the remaining 5 games). That means he's missing an average of 23 games in each season. Not good.
Then, consider that much of the time, he's playing with a pre-existing injury (for example, he has played with a broken finger on his left hand for a majority of the season).
