Any insight as to why Danny hasn't played much?

Just a guess, but maybe because it's unlikely that we make the playoffs, so winning really hurts us. No sense risking injury for that. Not that we're throwing games, it's just like a game you're up or down by 30...the result doesn't matter.

I don't think we are tanking...

I'm not saying we're tanking, but I'm pretty sure Danny missed a game recently due to some minor injury...I can't remember exactly what it was. Tanking doesn't help either right now as we really need JO to do his best so we know what he's worth.

Sprained wrist. I'm assuming we're resting him all we can because even though we're only 3 games from the Hawks we only have 5 or 6 more, so JO was pretty correct in saying we'd have to win out to get in and be spanked in 4.
