Chris Broussard and Rob Parker react to Jalen Brunson injuring his foot just 8 minutes into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinal between the Pacers and the Knicks. The Knicks avoid catastrophe as Jalen Brunson returned in the second half, but the guys go into the injury plagued playoffs and debate why players are sustaining serious injuries left and right.
Chris Broussard: “We have never seen anything like this... We have to wonder is it too much training, is it the style of play with the game so spread out??? I don’t know, but I think it has to be investigated!”
Rob Parker: “I think its a combination, but I really do believe the over training is a big reason, your body needs to heal and its okay to put on 8 pounds in the off season and then get back at it! They used to be out of shape and come back and get back in shape during training camp and be ready for the season. These guys never get out of shape and I wonder how much of that is over training?”
