Honestly, good move. whatever he has to do to stay healthy and be ready, I’m all for.
He got the experience. Now let’s surprise everyone all over again this coming season
Well the only sure way he'd stay healthy is if he eats well and doesn't ever step on the court again (because that will increase the possibility of him getting injured).
Come on guys, players have been playing for their clubs and national teams for decades and they were just fine. Yes, the number of games have increased significantly and yes, the seasons are more intense, especially in Europe, but seriously... Kings players finished their season in April and they start the new season when, the last day of October? If they can't invest one month into playing for the national team, that's just ridiculous to me.
No offense to anyone, this is just my 2 cents.
