TJ Warren is the one that's not healing fine enough so it's taken a lot longer.
It's entirely possible I mixed both informations (Myles/TJ) into my head.

Gratitude for clearing it up.

Addendum: If Human Satisfyer are gonna be buy outed, I understand why he looked so happy tonight.
I thought it was because team wanted to win.
I was wrong.

And, in a way, he's doing us a favor.

It's likely a buyout. He's likely giving back what he would make the rest of the season in Chicago on a veterans minimum salary. It clears us a roster spot, and a little tax room, so we can either sign someone new to the active roster, or possibly promote Washington or Taylor to the active roster and sign a new 2 way guy to try out. Lot's of options.

So…..Sykes didn’t play on a night we only had 9 available. That seems telling.

He’s shooting 36/31/86 for the season. He’s only shot OVER 40% in 2 games as a Pacer. Coincidentally, those were the two games immediately before his contract guarantee date. I think there’s a chance he doesn’t finish the season here. Maybe he lasts until McConnell comes back, and then is waived for the remainder of Taylor/Washington to be converted (whichever doesn’t fill the Thompson spot)?

at first I thought about matchups but Washington was playing Ish who isn't tall. Sykes must be in the doghouse.

Ish/Neto would seem like a perfect matchup for him. Granted, Sykes played against Milwaukee and Duane didn’t. Ricks been a bit all over the place with rotations.

I figured Washington had a roster spot basically locked up not too long ago, but now Taylor definitely looks like the one more deserving of the first spot that's open. He reminds me in some ways of early Leon Powe.
