And that's something that's thought of by everybody, not just the medical performance group but by coaches, by individual players, by agents, by family members, and people get pushed to take time off for whatever reason.

""Bridges' streak is the eighth longest in NBA history, nearly 50 games behind former New York Knick Harry Gallatin. The current record holder is A.C. Green, whose streak of 1,192 games stretched across 15 seasons.""
Mikal Bridges' consecutive games played streak reached 638 after playing 23 seconds in the season finale against the Charlotte Hornets.

Green. Load management is a common practice in the league, making Bridges' achievement noteworthy. He played 56 games with Phoenix before joining Brooklyn, where he completed the final 27 games of the season.
