I wouldn't mind sitting Nic until after the AS break. Give him the next ~2 months to rest and recover, and let Crabbe really find his groove so that he's ready to be a major contributor in the POs. Then after the AS break bring Nic back and work him into game shape so he's 100% for the POs. That would be a very "Pops" thing to do so Stotts would never do it.
Sanders suspended 1 game for pushing Nic in midair. Dangerous thing to do, could have been much, much worse
It was a dirty play by Sanders, glad he was suspended. Batum and Kaman should take this road trip off, and hope it resets them from the funk they've been in.
