Calling in sick for small market games?

The NBA has a problem. They promote stars and quite frequently you pay top $ to watch back-ups. Through the first 29 Jazz home games including today, this is the list of players who’ve sat out in Utah. That Utah night life is powerful. @bryce @RyanQualtrics #SaltLakeSitOut pic.twitter.com/5ZVBbxoUY7

NBA has so many problems. It's actually kind of hilarious

TNT

It’s a conspiracy to keep Wemby from ending up in Utah.

I think it's more likely that whatever analytics they're using is in play

2/6/23 12:30pm

The nba just sucks.

2/6/23 12:30pm

It's just a terrible product they are putting on the floor, I tried watching

I was talking to my dad about this at lunch. I’m just not a fan of the NBA

It's hard for us to care when the players themselves very clearly don't care.

which is why I've only ever payed for playoff games. I'd be pissed if I bought

The players don’t think Salt Lake City should have a team, and they are right.

Woah!

Better than the Knicks, who every NBA star refuses to play for.

Burn! How is your NBA boycott going?

TCuz

Yeah, it's Utah, not SLC.

A bad take by TCuz, go figure

A lot of big name players sit out a lot of games.

Joel Embiid thinks he should be MVP and misses 20% of the games. smh

I don't see how anyone can think that someone other than Jokic deserves it this

Isn't Tatum putting up good numbers and they are leading the league in the stand

Mayor of Cougartown

2/6/23 12:48pm

His last four seasons he played 55, 67, 45 and 56 so, not that great either.

Lebron has missed 11 games so far, so he just barely missed the graphic

2/6/23 4:29pm

Looks like 4 of those are part of B2Bs. Seems road teams do that a lot now.

Nuggets sent only 1 of their starters to Minnesota last night.

swingcat

2/6/23 12:39pm

I would check the schedule. If it's a B2B don't expect the opposing teams star

Mayor of Cougartown

2/6/23 12:39pm

This has been going on for years

2/6/23 12:47pm

it helps both these teams have great home records.

Mayor of Cougartown

2/6/23 12:49pm

Yep - I have given up trying to see LBJ in Utah

2/6/23 12:50pm

Well, since Kyrie is getting his physical today in Dallas, it would be pretty difficult to play tonight.

NBA needs to shorten its season

CameronG

2/6/23 2:02pm

I’m sure the NBA will jump all over that idea to reduce their regular season inventory and game revenue by ~25%.

TCuz

2/6/23 2:30pm

NBA ratings have been on the decline for awhile now

CameronG

2/6/23 2:48pm

Spoiler alert: significantly fewer games would not lead to more TV money, despite potential smaller positives

TCuz

2/6/23 2:53pm

Would all the sitting out issues go away if the shortened the season to what it

2/6/23 5:05pm

Super lame of Lilliard. He went to college like 10 miles away from Delta Center.
