Rarely does Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra acknowledge rest as a reason for absence. But sometimes common sense dictates such a reality. 

My first take was to accept this as true and to ask "Why not?" Why does Spo rarely acknowledge rest as the reason a player is out? It is just common sense so why go instead with "irritated big toe" which is not common sense and, frankly, sounds like an excuse? But in reading the rest of Ira Winderman's article Spoelstra did not say rest was the reason. See below.

So, yes, Jimmy Butler was listed as out for Thursday’s 113-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center with an irritated left big toe. And, yes, P.J. Tucker was listed as out due to pain in his left knee. But an exhale was closer to the reasoning.

“This an organizational decision, really, with the two of them,” Spoelstra said. “They’ve been grinding and working and they’re not long-term issues, but they can be if you don’t handle ‘em immediately.

“And I think they’ll really responded, and we’ll see where they are on Saturday.”

That’s when the Heat host the Philadelphia 76ers at FTX Arena, the start of a run of 11 of 12 at home.

“This was the decision that made the most sense for our organization, without a doubt,” Spoelstra said. “And everybody else has been in this situation, where their number has been called, and you have to be productive and reliable to your minutes. They’re used to it. It’s not like it’s a shock.”
