With the rash of injuries, why should any NBA player complete in Tokyo?

Kawhi Leonard is hurt, perhaps seriously. Kyrie Irving is hurt. James Harden is hurt. Mike Conley is hurt. Anthony Davis was hurt. The previously indestructible LeBron James was, too. Jaylen Brown was hurt. John Wall was hurt. Spencer Dinwiddie was hurt. Donovan Mitchell was hurt. Joel Embiid was/is hurt.

The list can go on.
