Well, yeah. There is that.
I’m just saying that Jason Kidd started his tenure here by promising Brunson “let’s get you paid.” To me, that doesn’t sound like the beginning of a culture looking to put injured players on the floor.
But yeah, for all we know they are begging Luka to sit and he’s giving them the finger. I kind of doubt it, though. I think he has hit the sweet spot of injuries where he is good to go, but not 100%. I don’t mean to trivialize it, but I’m sure he’s not the only player currently battling something fairly significant, health-wise.
