Yes, I believe so. When I practice too much, not only will their stamina decrease quicker in-game, but I have noticed that their performance will suffer. I usually notice it in the form of layups that miss short, and freethrows seem a bit harder.
What I usually do is practice on the normal setting. If I have a few games close together, I will use the light setting. When I have a stretch of a week or more without games I will do some intense practices. I am always monitoring their fatigue, though. I try to give them a day off every week, but if I have been doing intense practices, I give them atleast two days in a row before a practice or game.
