LeBron James, Kyrie Irving to play reduced minutes next season
One of the Cavaliers' regular-season goals is to cut down the minutes for LeBron James and Kyrie Irving.
They were No.3 and No. 5 in average minutes played during the 2014-15 regular season. Here are top five:
- Jimmy Butler (Chicago) 38.7.
- James Harden (Houston) 36.8
- Kyrie Irving (Cavs) 36.4.
- Andrew Wiggins (Minnesota) 36.2.
- LeBron James (Cavs) 36.1.
James begins his 13th season needing to play fewer regular-season games and minutes.
Irving is coming off surgery for a fractured knee cap, so it makes sense to keep his workload light in the regular season.
