Good question. I’m not sure, but I’d guess it’s because it’s a suspension and not an injury. They can calculate exactly when Chandler will be back. Not sure we have an accurate timetable on Darius

Odd that a team gets the advantage of an extra roster spot for a suspended player but teams with players out for the year do not. Seems backwards.
