I don't have a problem with this. Kevin Love has concussion history and it's best to go the safe route when it comes to his health.
He also has dealt with mental health issues and I don't know if that could be affected by these concussions
.
Facts :wow:

They're finding more and more that there's a significant relationship between concussions and physical/mental health issues later on down the line.

It isn't just CTE going on...everything from low testosterone to depression and anxiety diagnoses.

For example - low testosterone can be caused by concussions due to damage to the pituitary gland. If that gland is damaged enough, it will fail to send the necessary signals to your testicles to produce adequate levels of testosterone. Low testosterone often originally presents as a depression / anxiety diagnosis (it will turn even the toughest man into a low-energy, worrywart "bytch" over time). It will also lengthen the amount of time it takes to recover from musculoskeletal injuries, reduce your ability to concentrate and your working memory, and increase your body's bodyfat setpoint.

Imagine a top athlete getting fatter, dumber, "lazier" and more injury-prone...all from poorly managed concussions :damn::damn:
