That does penalize teams that have legit injured players so it may be easier to have it that they are not eligible to play in the first round. This way a player that's legit hurt is who's probably going to miss some of the first round anyway would at least be available if they advance to the 2nd round. I don't think too many teams would be ballsy enough to have healthy top contributor sit out the first round of the playoffs.
