Yes, sorta.

But also, this was clearly agreed upon when he got traded. Memphis COULD fine him. They COULD force him to report. They COULD buy him out. They aren't, because they view him as an asset. It's a mutually beneficial decision for him to sit and for them to see what the market is for him.

I also think he's wildly overrated as an asset, but that's another discussion.
