I just don't see what the benefit of having Booker go 3/18 because he has a sprained shooting wrist is. Just let Jackson and Bender have more responsibility, let them grow. Give Reed some meaningful minutes.

I hate that they are even leaving it up to Booker. If this were say the Spurs there is 0% chance he would play. Act like a good organization and bench his ass.

Agreed. But again, the league is out to take the tanking down. Maybe I am just a paranoid nerd but I feel if we try to pull this stuff, we'll end up being punished.
If he can play without risk and he wants to play, he has to play. Just limit his minutes (and workload if possible). 20 minutes, run some plays for him, let him pass the ball a little and test his shooting. Not killing yourself.

I don't think there's any chance the league would punish us for sitting Booker. He's legitimately hurt. It's not even for tanking purposes that I want him to sit, I just think it does no good for anyone to play a hurt player who's clearly affected by the injury.

Agreed, Split. Let's not get silly.

Yep. Not sure the league would have a legit case for making us play someone who can only be effective with his off-hand.
