Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine admits all the basketball kids are playing with AAU is leading to knee injuries at a young age.

LaVine says playing a lot at a young age has its benefits, but ultimately, the Bulls guard thinks the physical toll is too much.

“Yeah, we played a lot in AAU; it’s a little much,” LaVine told Alex Kennedy of Hoops Hype. “When I was playing, it was sometimes three-to-four [games] a day. It’s why, I think, some kids are getting knee injuries at a young age too. But I can see it both ways, because playing those games helps us find out who we are and let us experiment with our game. I wish I did get more fundamental teaching before college, though.”

LaVine tore his left ACL during the 2016-17 season when he was on the Minnesota Timberwolves. There are some around the league who believe the youth basketball wear and tear is part of the reason why some of today’s stars opt for load management.

LaVine played in 63 games last season for the Bulls. He has completely recovered from his ACL tear and is back to dunking on everyone.

In nine games this season for the Bulls, LaVine is averaging 20.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists while shooting 44.1 percent from the field, 38.6 percent from beyond the arc and 75.7 percent from the free-throw line.
