Philadelphia 76ersPHILeBron JamesMinutes & UsagePresser

LeBron is on a 16 to 18 minute limit for now and how he gets there is flexible.

“It was going to be first half minutes, right? ... So a nine minute stint is seven, you know, what would be a normal one or six and a half or something. ... And to get to that number, 16, 18 minutes, it doesn't really matter how you do it right now.”

Portland Trail BlazersPORJa MorantMinutes & UsagePresser

Coaches and Lillard are urging Morant to stay aggressive and look for his own scoring in Portland.

“talking with the coaches last night today and then with Dame yesterday, they were telling me to stay aggressive. Obviously when I'm playing like me, it opens up a lot more on the floor for everybody else.”

Starters' playing time on the back-to-back is undecided.

“It's still to be TBD... if you play some of them, sit some of them at the opposite times, just more minutes for more guys, and it gives us a chance to look at different combinations.”

LA ClippersLACKeaton WaglerMinutes & UsagePresser

Wagler will get a lot of reps and learn through playing more than instruction.

“we're going to have a lot of reps for him, so he's going to learn a lot with his play instead of us just teaching him so much.”

The ball runs through Hachimura and Ingram once Ingram is back.

“Rui, B.I. when he gets back, like, the ball's going to be in their hands and they got to be, you know, a lot of responsibility.”
