Unless the med staff told the FO something we don't know about, this seems like a pretty massive overreaction by the FO. Big men miss games. They just do. The bigger they are, the more games they tend to miss. Lots of stress on their bodies/joints/etc.

Best ability is availability, and when you couple it with having as big of a contract, it's tough to manage a roster and cohesiveness among players.
AD has missed a lot of games and it's severely hurt the Lakers. Fortunately we have a better constructed team, but his absence is the same. That goes for KAT as well, just can't count of some of these guys.
You left out Jokic, Gobert, and some others, too.
