I think what most casual fans miss, is that 90% of the time, it is not the players asking to sit out games.

Now with say Simmons and Leonard that might be the case of it being player driven.

But most of the time, it is the teams load managing players on the advice of their medical staffs.

I think this pressure will more be on teams than on players.

Also, players I think having to play 65 games to qualify for some awards is going to encourage less resting.
