Paul George Clears Up Load Management Questions With Him and Kawhi | Taylor Rooks X

And not to put words in your mouth, I just think about how annoyed I would be that people are almost trying to make you and Kawhi like the face of load management, as if you all don't want to play or you wouldn't play if you could. Does it feel annoying to you? It's annoying, it's annoying, because ultimately, we love basketball. We love to play, we love to compete. That's just how we are. We love to hoop. But for people to say that, oh, they're not gonna play, they're missing it. We don't intentionally want to miss games. Obviously, there's something going on, or obviously, it's something that we're trying to be mindful of and be ahead of. And it's not just us that are, it's not just players that's involved on those decisions. It's media, or not media, it's medical staff, it's higher-ups that have say-so on these situations as well. Obviously, I feel players can override it, but we're mindful of our bodies. And so, yeah, it gets annoying, hearing noise of are they gonna play, are they not gonna play? If we haven't played, or if we're not suiting up, there's something that's going on that's keeping us out of that game. Yeah, you're like, if I'm not playing, I didn't have a choice. Exactly, exactly. Absolutely.
