NBA maximum of about 30 minutes on court a game, no one tackling you/sliding into your legs/falling on you, barely any full sprinting and landing on a surface that doesn't shift like grass... fair bit of difference to account for that would allow you to get back earlier.
They also play 3 times the amount of games in a season on a much firmer surface. Plenty of precarious situations for the legs considering the amount of jumping, particularly dunking or contested shots in the post.
