Sending Leonard to the D-League means there are only two centers on the active roster. Meyers has been on the active list nearly every game. Plus, bodies are needed for practices.
Possibly but that is not a big deal at all because the player still is on the teams roster even when in the D-League. Teams send down and then bring up players all the time. I remember in the past we sent a player down for only 1 game then brought him right back up.
