I have the perfect example in regards to games.
A couple years ago, I drafted 1961-62 Elgin Baylor...48 games...2129 minutes...I was looking to get a decent 24-28 out of him for the entire season...those minutes adjusted would be a tad higher since there were only 80 games played in 1962.
Well in the first game, after only 14 minutes of play...Baylor got injured for 5 days (10 games) and I promptly released him.
Games played don't play a factor in injuries huh...
