“They are sitting on the bench.” Bam Adebayo criticized the practice of providing rest
Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo spoke about the practice of load-sharing among NBA players.
“Most of the guys just sit on the bench – this is the so-called load sharing. This saddens me. And because? Because moms and dads with their children come especially to see these players. People need to be prepared for such results that someone will miss the match,” Adebayo told Playmaker’s Inspire show.

And in fact. Last season, Adebayo spent a total of 2,598 minutes on the court – these are the best indicators of the player’s career. Bam also became the leader in the number of kilometers traveled – 400.7.

The journalist also added that there is a possibility that James Harden will still participate in the training camp in Philadelphia.
