Jayson Tatum, the Boston Celtics star, emphasizes his commitment to playing as many games as possible, resisting the trend of load management in the NBA. He values the experience for fans attending games, especially those who travel to see him play. As he prepares for the upcoming playoffs, Tatum acknowledges the potential discussions with the team about resting, but he expresses his desire to stay active on the court, particularly during road games, knowing that fans appreciate his presence.
I understand [they] might be [here] for [a fan's] birthday or Christmas gift or whatever, and I try to stay ready and play as much and often as I can - and especially games on the road.
I know somebody appreciated seeing me out there tonight. There will be a lot of head-butting, for sure. I understand the balance of being fresh... for hopefully a long playoff run.
