And nothing in his data suggest why players are injured after back to backs like KawhinLeonard's elbow to the head or Durant simply having a teammate tossed into his leg. Flukes that happen yet they are now stats on back to back game injuries in the NBA.

You think it's a coincidence that players are 3.5x more likely to be injured on the 2nd night of a road back to back?

So flukes don't happen at home? Flukes statistically happen more to road teams on back to backs, is that your assertion?

Wise people don't take blind data & pretend it's flawless/ The Gospels. This study only goes back to 2012 anyway & who knows what injuries are reported. A lot of bruised Labia injuries going around since 2012 in the new NBA.

Gonna guess wise people don't think something that's happened for 5 years running is a "fluke." Do you understand how sample sizes work?

Give us a serious study

I did. You didn't like what you saw, so you said it was a fluke.

There are 82 NBA games , 41 road games & 9 or 10 back to back road games since you want to talk about sample sizes. 9 or 10 games over 5 seasons is barely 50 games per team ( less than an NBA season) as opposed to over 400 per team overall.

Pulling 9 or 10 games per team from a season & I'm sure statistical anomalies will pop up. Probably a reason small cities like Chester Pa or Petersburg VA top larger Cities like Chicago when it comes to violent crime rates

A real study would investigate the type of injuries. Career/ season ending injuries? Fatigue related ? Elbow to the head? Teammate shoved into your leg ? Sore Labia?

Analytic geeks must be afraid to leave home.
