NBA season’s are very long and vigorous on the body. 82 games is a lot, but when you add up the back-to-backs, the task can become taxing.
New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony is hopeful one day the association will reduce the amount of back-to-backs.
“I don’t know if that will ever happen, but that’s the dream,” Anthony said after practice Saturday. “Maybe it will happen 10 years from now when I’m out of the league.”
One of the ways to reduce back-to-backs is to shorten the amount of games. NBA commissioner Adam Silver has a lot of things to consider moving forward.
