Amen Thompson's Workload Concerns Rise Amid Role Change, Potential Injury

Houston Rockets' Amen Thompson is reportedly being overworked by coach Ime Udoka, with his usage rate and pick-and-roll ball-handler frequency significantly increasing as he transitions to starting point guard. Playing 36.9 minutes per game (second in the league) and often guarding opponents' top scorers, his Box Plus/Minus has slipped. Concerns are growing that this heavy workload could lead to injury, with the severity currently unknown.
