I've only spot-watched infrequently, so I'm not going to claim either way, but you see people here call out the hammy regularly. As I said, if he sat even longer, his team may have missed the playoffs and those complaining right now wouldn't have anything to complain about.
If he has been playing this whole time to help his team make the playoffs, that's one thing. If he's been doing it for supermax mostly, pretty unwise decision given it made his play nose dive to the point where he won't even make all NBA, and now he's supposedly not right to be able to perform. Maybe it's both, we don't know. Seems like he could've rested a couple more weeks back when it originally happened and he still could've hit the 65 threshold.
