In all my years as an NBA fan, I have rarely seen NBA stars and high-profile rookies play in the pre-season games until the 2023-2024 season. What changed?

It’s not uncommon for stars to play light minutes in the preseason to establish chemistry and get their legs under them. They obviously don’t care about the results nor their performances as much as they do about just getting run on the court before the season starts, but it’s always been the norm for them to at least start most of these games, assuming they’re healthy.
