As Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> guard Anthony Edwards heads into his first All-Star Game on Sunday, he was asked by one reporter what he might change about the NBA if he had the ability.<\/p>\n

For Edwards, there isn\u2019t much he\u2019d do. However, if he could, he would change one thing<\/a> that has become a hot topic in recent seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Probably just all the guys sitting, resting,” Edwards responded. “That\u2019s the only thing I probably don\u2019t like. Just play, man. If you\u2019re 80%, 70 \u2013 you gotta play. I don\u2019t like all the sitting, missing games and stuff like that. These people might have enough money to come to one game, you know what I\u2019m saying? That might be the game they come to and then you\u2019re sitting out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I take pride in trying to play every game because you never know if there\u2019s one fan that might never seen me play and I\u2019m trying to play.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Load management for players has been something the NBA has teetered with for a bit. While they understand the importance of athlete fatigue, Edwards\u2019 mindset is shared by many as well: Fans come to see the best players.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During the 2019-20 season, we see it a lot with the Los Angeles Clippers<\/a>, as they rested Kawhi Leonard and Paul George quite a bit. But players like LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Jimmy Butler are just some that have also had rest days despite not being injured, as teams figure some regular-season games aren\u2019t worth the chance a star player could get hurt.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NBA decided during the 2020-21 campaign that healthy players were not allowed to sit out during nationally televised games, or during road games when “unusual circumstances” are not present. Those circumstances are a bit loose, but the emphasis is on the national TV games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If teams break that rule, they will be fined at least $100,000 in national TV scenarios.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s something you won\u2019t have to worry about with Edwards, who has become a star in his early career with the Timberwolves. Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns are also big names in Minnesota.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, load management will likely continue to play a factor in teams\u2019 strategies for the 82-game regular season.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
