If his missing practice is purely a systematic, pre-planned precautionary measure, it can be a slippery slope that will affect our team on the court...
I get the concern, but don't guys sit out practices more often now even just for resting purposes? To quote a wise man, 'we're talkin' 'bout practice." In September no less.
