He has a history of sustaining a lot of injuries (he is not called "street clothes" for nothing) and as he gets older its going to happen more often and take longer to recover from.
Giannis is not a good comp. He is almost two years younger and does not have the same injury history (he is also a much better player). A better comp would Embiid. That is the path it looks like AD is heading down. How much would give for him?
He's been productive when on the court so I'm not sure how you could tell when he is breaking down or not, but with is play of late I don't think we are there yet. Like you said, he's always had a history of being banged up even in his early days, though I prefer Day-to-Davis to Street Clothes as a nickname. I guess you could also argue, that his oft injured status has saved his legs a lot of mileage throughout his career.
