Limiting James Minutes This Season
Tyronn Lue is worried about keeping his 14 year veteran refreshed this upcoming season. Lue talked about how the Cavaliers schedule has two 5 game in 7 day stretches which is key because he wants the players to remain healthy. Not driving his players into the ground is a strong point. LeBron James minutes were at a career low last season 35.6 minutes per game. Then jumping up to 39.1 minutes per game which is smart. Last year midway through the season Lue gave James two weeks off. Lue said that James came back looking noticeably refreshed. Although his ideas revolve around James this doesn't mean other players won't be seeing the same type of concept come start of the season. The Cavs' training staff uses biometrics to monitor the players health. Grading them by their body being in the green, yellow, or red zone. This is based on the minutes they play, activities, workouts, stress, and more. When a player enters the red zone Lue is advised to sit that player out.
