LeBron James is just one of 25 NBA players that are trying to avoid a burnout after spending additional time on the court this summer at the Beijing Olympics.

"We've tried to give LeBron as much rest as possible," Cavaliers' Coach Mike Brown said. "He's getting time off during practice. Time off during training camp. Time off during the preseason games. We really worked on limiting his minutes in the preseason."

Of those 25 Olympians, 17 are scoring fewer points this season than they did a year ago. Six Olympic players have missed at least 10 games with injuries.
