It would not be wrong to say that the 2020-21 NBA season has been one of a kind. The year saw matches being postponed more than ever before.
This was followed by some of the big names in the NBA missing several games either due to injury or breaching the COVID19 related health and safety protocols of the league.

The 2021 NBA Playoffs recently witnessed some of the league superstars succumbing to injuries and missing the remainder of the post-season. The list included the likes of Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, and Anthony Davis.
4x NBA champion King James recently expressed his resentment in a tweet. The NBA superstar spoke about how as many as 9 All-Stars have missed post-season, which is the most in league history.
7x NBA champion Robert Horry endorsed LeBron’s tweet adding that athletes need time for their bodies to recover and the league should look into this matter.

LeBron’s tweet also comes as a result of teammate Anthony Davis and himself sustaining some major injuries during the season. That prevented the Lakers to perform at full strength during the 2021 NBA Playoffs.

NBA veteran Robert Horry recently came out in support of LeBron, tweeting the following:
However, the NBA has not paid heed to these grievances yet. The league previously cited the financial losses that they had to bear due to the pandemic.
It would be interesting to see if this issue gets more attention as the NBA has decided to begin the 2021-22 season as per the regular schedule.
