A lot of these things. They definitely suffer deterioration and injury. And whereas you or I might tweak a knee and lay up for a week or three, they play through the pain or are given a ton of pain medication to play. (In addition to top-of-the line therapies, no doubt. Sports medicine has some miracles when it comes to a million-dollar athlete that simply aren’t considered when Regular Joe tears a meniscus. But pushing your body through pain might still a part of it, whether it’s accelerating through rehab or putting off the surgery to finish the season.)
