A recent medical study focused on Achilles tears in the NBA has yielded some findings. The study discovered a correlation between increased workload and the occurrence of Achilles tears in players. Specifically, the research found that players who suffered Achilles tears had increased their workload in the games leading up to the injury.

Further details on the study are available from the source, including the exact timeframe in which the increased workload was observed, which was reportedly in the 10 and 15 games prior to the injury.
