No if you can't make a contribution to the team at the highest level then you do not suit up. If it were a hand injury I can understand your logic but a knee injury is different. If not allowed to rest it will flare up and become a chronic issue. Not all injuries are the same.

Papabear Says

Let him rest a game or 2 and then lets see what AR can do. LOL Mike D would rather have only 4 players on the court than play AR. so sad.

But we don't know the situation. That's why they have a medical staff who actually work with the players to diagnose what's going on.

It's one thing to question coaches' decisions even though we have less knowledge and information than they (we still have decent information from watching the games), but questioning medical decisions that haven't even been made yet just seems over the top.

Why would you play him regardless. Your in a good position record wise. The goal is to make the playoffs right so why wouldn't you let Gallo rest his leg even if the medical staff say he can go. This is a game that Knicks won't win anyways this is like the ideal game for him to get rest. Let the bench play heavy minutes.

What do you mean "won't win anyway"...is that what you tell the guys in the locker room.

Hey guys we won't win this game so i'm going to give andy and AR the bulk of minutes.

There is a 99% chance the Knicks aren't going to win this game what are you going to do bust a guys career and risk further injury to Gallo for a game that the Knicks have 1% chance at winning. I say let the bench get some run in this game keep your main players healthy and rested for the longevity of the season.
