Quotes
“It’s amazing. It really is because he still has the same issue. He’s learned how to manage it a little bit better," 76ers head coach Doc Rivers as he hinted at less minutes for De'Anthony Melton in certain games
"I think we’ve done a better job in games where we can rest him more, we have, but I don’t know if that’s been better for him as a player. It’s two things going on at the same time.
“So that’s something we talked about over the break. There’s a fine line with too much rest giving guys and then there’s a rhythm to keep playing him. So we got to walk that line. Especially during these games.”
