82. "Chet's injury happened at a game with an unsafe court." In response to In response to 81
That's not me just saying that because Chet got hurt. They cancelled the game after a half because players had been slipping and sliding on the condensation and deemed continuing play unsafe.
There's certainly a non-zero chance that Chet landed differently than he would have because of that court-- either in the moment or choosing to land differently because he'd noticed the court was slippery earlier. And, to Reeq's point, he's too much of a bullheaded competitor to let Bron go up for an uncontested dunk in a pro-am game, lol.
I would imagine that, going forward, unless these events are more laboriously planned and more safety measures are insured, it might be hard to draw some of the bigger names out due to fear of injury.
