In the NBA, it’s been said that durability is its own skill. Some might suggest that it’s the most valuable quality a player can have.
If a player is regularly unavailable, they won’t be able to make contributions to their team.

Eventually, that team sometimes has to concede that they can’t afford to wait for the player to get their body right.
