(No, I won’t let it go. Still, both teams will be missing critical contributors, and neither has been the class of the league thus far, so it’s hard to give either a clear advantage. While spelling Keldon Johnson during a bout of bumps and bruises, Stanley was in the spotlight and showed out, and it was fair to wonder if he was experiencing a burst of ‘new to the roster’ energy alongside immediate usage, but with Keldon more regularly back in the fold, Stanley’s been seeing less emphasis as of late, and all-the-while continues to thrive in critical bench minutes.
