Q: How has player health management changed in the NBA according to Steve Kerr?

Kerr noted that player health is monitored more closely now, allowing players to have longer careers but resulting in shorter seasons to prevent injuries.

“Earlier this season, I thought OKC had a real shot,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr told The Athletic. “And you just see how difficult it is. One of the reasons it may never be broken is the pace and the space of the modern game. It’s changed things so much, the wear and tear on everybody. The health of the players, we monitor the players much better than we did back then. Guys are playing longer careers, but shorter seasons because we’re making sure we hold them out in case they’ve got injuries. There’s a lot that goes into it, but I just don’t see anybody ever going 74-8. I just don’t know how it would be possible.”
