Summer league is inconsequential for someone like him. There's still preseason as well. It's not going to have any effect on him. Also, rest from summer league and the body guard thing have nothing to do with each other. What kind of connection are you trying to make there?
Getting a new, young star that's at risk of being a media/paparazzi target out of Las Vegas seems like a pretty good idea to me. That's the potential connection between Brittany and the summer league.
But there plenty of reasons for pulling him that are highlighted in other comments too. Both can be factors. All adds up to getting him outta Dodge.
It's not at all unusual to pull your top rookie after a couple of summer league games. Orlando did the same thing with their two lottery picks, didn't play at all the last two games. Brandon Miller also did not play the last two summer league games. If you take the time to look through, you'll see most top rookies don't pay all of summer league. Op is making something out of nothing. I get it's the off season but it's literally a non-story.
