He really needs a rest.

They really need to rest him before he hurts himself even more. This season is a lost cause anyway.

Ya he needs some rest. I didn't even know he had plantar fasciitis but he has visibly sprained his ankle in like 4 games already. I think his lack of scoring has a lot to do with defenses being ready for him as well as his health. Like Wolfay said no need to risk further injury.

I hope the team doesn't play well in his absence. You know who will be next to be voted off the Kings island....

i bet reke isn't even hurt, this is just an excuse westphal uses to bench the one starter he hasn't benched yet.

I hope this is sarcasm.

Reke IS injured with various nagging injuries ever since the preseason.

Smartest thing to do! No reason to watch him go out there like that when we are in the hunt for nothing some improvement over last year. Heal up and have a positive finish to the season.

I hope his injuries are the reason he's playing so poorly. If not, we're toast for relying on him for the future of the franchise instead of holding on to Kevin Martin. You can look at stats and make general comments all you want, but if you watch the games, you'll see he's just taking and missing a lot of ill-advised layups and missing 9/10 jumpers while shooting way more of them than he did last year. Sure his play might be consistent with injuries, but from the looks of it, it just seems like defenses have figured him out and there's nothing he can do about it. If he's really hurt he should sit out. We're losing bad either way, so who cares. Sit Dalembert too and just develop Cousins. Let him touch the ball once pretty much every possession...I bet good things will come out of that.

Yeah, if Tyreke's out, might as well give Cousins some minutes and let the young dudes play.
