It’s hard to find the logic in the explanation for Mitchell Robinson’s first DNP because it doesn’t exist.
I’ve tried to wrap my head around the idea of playing in the preseason and load managing in the regular season, but, alas, it’s beyond my comprehension.
Mike Brown hasn’t been helpful either, alternating between reassurances that Robinson didn’t suffer an injury and deferring to a load management plan engineered by training staff leader Casey Smith.
You try to give logic a shot given this timeline:
