Any chance he was pulled because he is being traded? It wouldn't be the first time. I did see him wince a bit on the replay, and it was not worthy of a "no hussle" benching IMO. If there was something in the match up situation, that should have been done prior to the game starting. This is a weird thing.
It really makes no sense. I agree it shouldn't be a hustle issue. I believe the flu thing is in the past. And the report was that he wasn't injured but they could just not be saying anything about a possible injury. I don't buy the trade scenario at this stage in the season.
