Mu fanatic is correct.  These guys are going full bore 365.  Back in the day there was more down time to heel the "aches and pains".

Additionally, How many 7 4 and &6 guys were playing like smits and Yao.  notice the proponderance of stress fractures and 7'+ 250lb+ guys.  not many of them back then and if they were tall ie over 6'8 back then they were george Mikan types. 
I think the size of these guys and the 365 mentality is simply too much for there wheels to carry without rest, in many cases.

Maybe the stress fracture is from the high expectations on our bigs to perform.  that's a lot of pressure on a young man.  i know I would be stressed.
