Anthony Edwards is really not a fan of load management

During the All-Star Weekend in Salt Lake City, the question of load management was discussed several times between journalists and players. Kyrie Irving spoke on the subject, as did young Wolves star Anthony Edwards. And the back of Minnesota does not beat around the bush: load management, it sucks.

As we know, in the current NBA, it’s not uncommon to see big names miss regular season games to rest their bodies, take a breather, and better prepare for the big Playoffs. It’s even become a trend for a few years, a trend that frustrates many fans who obviously want to see the stars in action. Nevertheless, there are some who go against the tide and try to play as many matches as possible, minor injuries or not. Among them: Anthony Edwards.

In three NBA seasons, Ant-Man has played 205 of 215 games, including a perfect 61/61 in the current campaign. Figures that support the declaration released by Edwards this weekend concerning load management (via Hoopoe the dog).

“If I could change one thing in the current league, it would be about all those guys not playing and resting. I do not like it.

You have to play. If you are at 80 or 70%, you must play. All these people, they might have the money to go to just one game, and that might be the game you’re not going to play. I take it to heart to play every game, because maybe there is a fan who has never seen me play before.

Hey, doesn’t that remind you of someone that kind of statement?

Not only does Anthony Edwards look like Michael Jordan physically, but he also talks like him. MJ indeed had a similar speech in his day, which is one of the reasons why the Bulls icon played nine full 82-game seasons. Ant-Man is on its way to a second full season in three years and there is a chance that this declaration will boost his popularity rating with the fans. Because if there’s one thing NBA fans appreciate, it’s seeing a young star show consideration for the public, which seems a little too often taken for granted these days. We had further proof of this during the All-Star Game on Sunday…
