It's a concern but keep in mind he's played a lot of time at PF would absolutely factors in. Luckily his game is more movement, power, and skill, and relies less on athletic ability which would indicate baring any major injury, he will be able to put up good numbers for a long time. Might have to deal with him missing 10-15 games each year, but he should remain a big time scorer until he is 34-36 years old.
I have no doubt that as long as he plays, he'll gets lots of PPG. How often will he be out though? As a Knick, he's missed about 1 in 6 games and you assume that he'll miss more games as he ages.
