So out of these top 14 players they have averaged missing 9.5 games so far this season or 18%. Basically meaning if you are going to a game with 2 stars in it the chances that one won't play are over 1/3. While there are some injuries in this group, none are season ending or anthing like that to throw off the numbers. Just knicks and bruises with an occasion sprain. Load Management is the biggest item contributing to these guys not playing.
