They just benched him in favor of more vet players because they're making a playoff push. They've largely been disappointed with his development, as he's never taken the so called "next step" that all franchises hope they're top lotto picks take.
Given that he may be what he always will be, moving on from him for more established players COULD be what they want.
Further they might not want to pay whatever WCJr will demand next year.
Of course all of this is a maybe. You're right it doesn't make much sense for CHI to move on from WCJr right now today, but you never know how far some teams go to make the playoffs when they haven't been there for years.
