Ok, I figured this is news worthy of its own thread:
Freshman wing Jaylen Thompson is being held out to preserve a redshirt season. I talked to a team spokesman about it after the game and that’s what they confirmed. He is not injured. It’s purely about preserving the option for him to redshirt this season. Reason being they have a lot of depth at his position.
Now, I should add that I was told this is a week-to-week deal. If the team really feels like they could use him due to other guys going down, they’ll burn his redshirt and play him. But they are hoping it won’t come to that.
I know others have already said this and have come to this conclusion, but still nice to have confirmation from the team.
