The Cleveland Cavaliers rested a healthy James for four straight games at the end of the 2009-10 regular season. Owners discussed the issue later that week at a meeting in New York, and Stern reported that there was "no conclusion reached, other than a number of teams thought it should be at the sole discretion of the team, the coach, the general manager, and I think it's fair to say I agree with that, unless that discretion is abused."

Why risk injury during an unimportant game?

Those Spurs are old. They need their rest!

The league does not care about the players. None of the leagues do. It's in their economic interest not to care.
