Didn't get to see the game today, but Pleiss isn't on the roster and I think is still planning on playing more overseas. Anyone who saw, any reason Adams didn't play? I was hoping to see more out of him, first game wasn't great but was hoping for some more improvement as it went along.

Right, he at least wants to play 1 more year of his 3 years left on his contract overseas. Don't know if Pleiss being there is related to Adams not playing, but it isn't unusual for a player to sit a game or two to give more time to others.

Adams sitting seems to be more of a protect the investment move. No sense in asking him to play everyday at this point, it's not worth the risk.

Pleis on the bench is part of the Thunder keeping in touch and keeping Pleis motivated to work hard over the offseason.

All players will sit some games, Jackson didnt play the first game.

Tibor won't be aloud to play as he may get injured (his club wouldn't like that.) He has said he wants to stay there at least another year. After that we would still need to organize a buy out of the contract.
