It's funny that with all the advancements in training, dieting, recovery etc, that these dudes seem to get hurt way more than the old dudes. 23 guys are out today, another 9 are Q...there are 8 teams playing.
People are running faster and jumping higher forcing the human body to endure more stress. Kids are also starting to play at 10 years old. A lot more miles on kids coming into college and the NBA.

Average player weight is up over 10 lbs since I started watching in the 90's and consider that the data back then was skewed by big lumbering centers that are now basically extinct. Heavier bodies fall harder. Just jumping and cutting is harder on the joints and tendons.
Apparently the 7th best player on the team is unhappy being the 3rd option.
