At this point might as well shut Zion down for the season, why risk him getting injured again for a season that's going nowhere.
My guess would be they're babying him (no back to backs, he's only playing 26-28 minutes when he does play, etc.) in hopes of getting him to the finish line healthy, building up some value, and then trading him in the offseason.
