People are more likely to get injured when they are fatigued.  This is not rocket science.  If you want to argue that fatigue has no impact on injury risk, go for it.

Fatigue IS cumulative, in that if a player over does it one game, and then comes back and over does it the next, and the next, and the next, the risk of injury keeps going up until that player recovers.  Also, injuries beget injuries, so a player tweaking his ankle and trying to play through it can result in a more serious injury as the player compensates for the first injury.

You make my argument for me by bringing in the argument that exercise is regenerative.  Would you recommend doing exactly the same set every single day?  Of course not.  Most training regimens do not have someone repeating the same exercise over and over, and include rest days so the body can regenerate.

The NBA Players Association is trying to reduce the number of games.  And LeBron just gave an interview where he complained about the AAU circuit playing too many games.  It is possible that they know what they are talking about.

I have an idea.  Everyone on this board that is arguing that load management is a myth should play pickup basketball against good competition an hour a day for a month, and let us know if you make it without getting hurt.
