What happened to Luka will be a cautionary tale on why coaches rest players in the last few games of the regular season when their playoff positioning is decided. I wouldn't declare it to be a genteman's sweep though.

The irony is, he woulda been suspended for that game in which he got injured, except the NBA rescinded that technical. The suspension would have done them a favor lol.

I had completely forgotten about that, lol. Imagine bitching to the NBA to rescind a 16th technical just to play your franchise star in a meaningless final game of the season only for him to mess up his calf and miss the start of the playoffs against an opponent where he's very much needed.
