I think KP needs to be moved but I always think the "soft" label is kind of strange. Outside of scheduled rest he hasn't really missed that many games. No one is calling Luka soft for resting yesterday but people jump at the chance with KP. No one is calling:
Anthony Davis,
Jaren Jackson Jr,
Jusuf Nurkic,
Christian Wood,
James Wiseman,
Mitchell Robinson
Soft despite them all missing more games. That doesn't include Embiid or KAT who have also missed around 20 games.
I understand the dude has a history of being in street clothes but this isn't really the year to go after his health, he missed a few games with the back and has missed a few now because of the ankle/knee but in a regular schedule he wouldn't have missed games due to the meniscus and came back way quicker than people expected. Most of the missed games are precautionary.
Also, no one was calling him soft when he dropped 30/15 on that same torn meniscus in the playoffs.
The dude has his flaws but I always hate when injury prone bigs (which is like all of them other than Shaq) get called soft. By all accounts he wants to be out there, can't imagine being attacked over something you can't control.
