Seemed to me it was just for that one game because the coach did not know he was going to play until like an hour before game time. It would not have hurt AI to come off the bench and play. Did the coach say he was not a starter anymore? This is a TEAM game and you do what is best for the TEAM. Not starting one game is not going to kill anyone. You get paid the same and it is not like anyone is going to think less of him. In fact they think less of him now for being a crybaby about it and not playing. Or at least I do. Granted I never liked him to start with. Great talent with attitude.
