Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Criticizes NBA Scheduling Over Player Health Concerns

Kerr highlights grueling back-to-back games and late-night travel as detrimental to players' well-being, calling for fewer games in the season.

Steve Kerr voiced frustration with the NBA's scheduling after the Warriors' late-night game against the Mavericks, followed by a back-to-back matchup in Houston.
The Warriors' game in Dallas ended late at night, with the team traveling and arriving in Houston after 3 a.m. to play the Rockets the next evening.
Kerr has long advocated for a shorter NBA season, arguing that fewer games would improve player health and enhance the overall quality of the league's product.
Key players like Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green were initially uncertain to play in Houston but were later cleared, highlighting the strain on athletes in such schedules.
The comments come just days before the All-Star weekend, raising broader questions about player workload and the league's priorities.
