You missed a shot?! The Kings went on a short run?! You’re out of the game and you shan’t see the floor again!!
I would understand if:
A) the Suns were incentivized to win games
and
B) they didn’t only have 9 games to decide if they are going to pick up Jimmer’s option next season.
I get it’s only his first game and all and maybe they’ll give him more significant minutes in the coming couple weeks, still seems so odd to play him at all if you’re only going to give him a few minutes.
