I hope you will reconsider this decision. Suspensions impact fantasy owners in the exact same way as injuries, and so should be IR eligible. Fantasy owners could have predicted Ayton’s suspension about as well as one can predict which player next tears an ACL; they should therefore be afforded the same flexibility to use their IR spot.

Furthermore, Jimmy butler was recently marked injured for the birth of his child, so there already appears to be some precedent for assigning the INJ designation in non-injury related circumstances. Lastly, Ayton’s current O designation seems more inaccurate given that it is assigned for when a player is out for less that 7 days.
