A huge majority of EuroLeague players were not able to participate in all games this season.

Ignacio Muro, the EuroLeague Basketball Medical Officer, stated that only 33 of 306 players were able to play in all games in this season of the EuroLeague in his remarks to the EuroLeague Players' Association.

The doctor also stated that the number drops to an even more abysmal 7 out of 278 when the 2022-23 season is also considered.

Muro noted that this was mainly because of injuries.

It has been stated by many important shareholders of European basketball that the rough schedule of the EuroLeague, where all games matter, national games throughout the year, and the dual duty of being both a EuroLeague player and competing in domestic titles add strain on players.
