I hear about how NBA players dine out in restaurants on the road, and wonder how good their diet really is. Diet, is of course, extremely important to an athlete for an athlete to keep their body operating optimally under such high stress conditions. I also hope that they are giving these guys top quality vitamin and mineral supplements. It seems like a no brainer that they would be, but who knows.
I guess knowing when to come back is tricky in sports. How could Martell know for sure the limits of his foot until he tried it going full force? He could have re-injured it in practice if he had gone full force there, but it seems they decided to let him test it in a game.
