The 2013 TPups had a total of 339 games missed by their players due to injury or illness, an NBA record. This past season the Lakers missed 317 games for the same reasons, and are #2 on the list.
A sad chapter in our history on all levels is now closed; hopefully next season will at minimum be a far healthier one. |

Lakers have to shake up the training/medical team. i know it's not completely their fault but something needs to be done here. |

And yet we get people clamoring for Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love, two players who are the opposite of iron men. That is what I find so baffling. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

Embiid hasn't shown a history of being injury prone like Love and Irving have. I give Love props for staying healthy this season, I think it is more likely he plays more games than Irving in the future. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

re: Embiid, he just started playing ball. And he already missed a sizeable chunk of games his first year in college ball. He is talented, but he is also a risk too. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

Lets fire the training staff too. Cleanse everything that made this the saddest two seasons I've seen with the injury curse. |

to be fair, Vitti uses more sophisticated stuff than that, he uses ice bags |

Pretty sure he uses frozen peas. Not even the brand name either. |

I don't think that is completely accurate. Mike Trudell mentioned on twitter the Raptors had 519 games missed due to injury in a season.
Quote: | @LakersReporter
Toronto with an absurd 519 in 2002-03. RT @GiftedAndLifted: @LakersReporter what’s the highest and which team and year? |
Quote: | @LakersReporter
The final games-missed-to-injury number for the 2013-14 @Lakers: 319. That’s among the highest totals since tracked in the 1980’s. |
