i thought he couldn't play??
He's still, relatively, early on in his chemo treatment. There's no doubt that he's not gonna be at his best. That's why they initially benched him but considering how bad they looked against Blinn, they've seemingly changed their minds and probably think that their best chances of making ascension are with him, even with the handicap he's dealing with (feeling terrible from chemo+limited practice because of that).

the respect I have for him and the people on DZ is insane, really hope they make a deep run now
