Would you rather an 82 game season, or a 41 game season where all players are invincible? (alien.top)

After the disappointing news of Steven Adams season-ending knee surgery, it got me thinking about how we would see less injuries if the season were made shorter, and players had more time to recover and rest.

So in this extreme hypothetical example, would you rather see a usual 82 game season, or a 41 game season spread over the same 6 months, where players are physically incapable of being injured? Less basketball, but potentially more games played by injury-prone players who usually sit out a large chunk of the season.

Invincibility. Zion and Wemby knowing they can't get injured would be terrifying to watch.

I'm not convinced that less games leads to significantly longer longevity.
