As mentioned, Nader was rested in the Suns' win to deal with a knee injury.
The Bulls got blown out by Indiana and Billy Donovan played Matt Thomas the entire 4th quarter. My guess is that the competitor in the Ice Man is kicking himself a bit as he didn't shoot the ball at a good rate and this was his first chance at some extended minutes to do so. In his first year with Toronto, he was coming off the bench and hitting 50%+ a lot of times but once he got to Utah last year, he didn't take advantage of his limited chances. It could be that he's pressing and that's the cause but there are a lot of guys out there trying to make a roster so let's hope that dominant shooter comes back. In the end he played 12 MIN, had 5 PT on 2-7 FG / 1-4 3PT.
But at least he's getting paid at $1.7M a year ....
