JJ Redick on LeBron: Players with big minutes need a break. There`s no escape from this
21.12.2024
JJ Redick explained why LeBron James missed the last two games. According to the Lakers leader, who returned to the lineup on Sunday, he himself was ready to go on the court.
James, 39, also expressed his intention to play all 82 regular season games.
Every basketball player should want to play in every game. This should be the goal. But as the NBA season progresses, players with big minutes sometimes need a break. There is no escape from this.
I myself played 15 seasons and was exhausted in every sense, emotionally, mentally, physically. I gave everything to the game.
