Many NBA fans are criticizing Commissioner Adam Silver for the 2026 playoff schedule, which appears to favor the injury-stricken Lakers. The Lakers will have extended rest days between games, potentially allowing injured players like Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic to return by Game 5, coinciding with their recovery timeline. Accusations of manipulation have surfaced online, with some fans suggesting the scheduling is rigged to benefit the Lakers. If necessary, further games could provide additional recovery time, allowing both players to rejoin the series.
