3 Potential Contributing Factors to NBA Injuries

Dear Dave,

Yeah...so with Kyrie [Irving getting injured] the other shoe is dropping in my head. I cannot in living memory (which dates back to 1981 or so,) remember a season so universally spoiled by injuries. What gives? I've heard more than one commentators say on air, "With all the medical science, how is this happening?" Now I'm starting to think its just that: with all the medical science, these bodies are pushed beyond reality. Watching the play where Kyrie got hurt, it was like seeing him try to make his body do things bodies aren't supposed to do, and it just up and did what any normal body would do moving at that speed and trying to change directions.
