Lue wanted no part of the implications of LeBron playing a season-low 27 minutes in the victory
LeBron James has played only 27 minutes vs. Pistons
Tyronn Lue doesn’t want to hear anymore about the minutes LeBron James is playing this season.
Per ESPN, Following the Cleveland Cavaliers' most complete win of the season, a 116-88 rout of a Detroit Pistons team that came into Monday night with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue wanted no part of the implications of LeBron James playing a season-low 27 minutes in the victory.
"I hear about that all the time," a somewhat perturbed Lue said. "I played with Michael Jordan when he was 39, he played 37 minutes a night. Karl Malone was 37, played 38 minutes a night, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe [Bryant]. Everybody's built different. If you're one of the greats, sometimes you've got to play, sometimes you get rest like tonight."
