What happens if they pull the trigger early and then he's not healthy and ready to play when the suspension ends?

I dont really doubt that they would check if he's okay, but since he's back in practice he seems to be alright. And even if only fit enough to play 2 minutes a game, that's 2 minutes he could play. And by the time the suspension would be over he'd be ready to play more, if not just send him on the court for a minute and say other players took the available playing time. There is nothing the NBA could really do about it, its not like there is a rule "a player must play at least 30 minutes after his suspension". Healthy enough to play 1 minute = let him sit out the suspension already. That's what I mean, they shouldnt say he's ready although he couldnt play. But since he's back in practice, there really is no point in letting him sit out with his old injury.
And the reason why a soon return would probably be good is because our starting point guard is having career low numbers in almost all categories.
