Plus, if there is no intensity in scrimmages, how is it developing a professional athlete? If you want training minutes to be useful, you can't just dog it.

A weight lifter can't press 10 pounds in practice and call it training for an event where he has to lift 400 pounds.
A sprinter can't run a 20 second 100m in practice and call it training for an event where he has to run 10 seconds.

Training = chance for injury.

You can't have it both ways. Don't play your guy in scrimmages and only play him in games that matter. Therefore, only expect him to get the benefits from those games and no practices/scrimmages.

(edit - question mark)

Boozer was never injured in practice. I have no idea what you are talking about.

Ellis had a freak injury in practice...guess how many games he missed? ZERO.

He only missed a few practices. There is not much intensity to practice games, there really is no reason for 2 week injuries to be happening in scrimmages.


Boozer was injured in the preseason last season. Fractured his hand.

DWade was injured in a preseason game last year and missed a couple of weeks. It happened early enough that he didn't miss any regular season games.

Jerebko for the Pistons missed the entire season after a ruptured Achilles Tendon in the first preseason game.

The point is, injuries don't just occur in 'real' games.
