Players must play in 65 games and play a minimum of 20 minutes in 63 of those games. That's not on average, it's for each individual game.

Looks like he's already down 11 games of eligibility halfway through the season due to not being active (4 games), fouling out, or JBs weird lineups. Sadly, chances are he won't even qualify.

At this point, keeping everyone as healthy as possible for a deep playoff run is the goal. Individual awards are cool but I wanna see a deep playoff run.

Caris needs to be injured for this current roster to make it past the ECF.   JB’s absolute love affair with him is disrupting all of the rotations.

That sucks.  I wasn't aware of that rule.  I thought it was just an average.

Yea, it's a weird rule. Basically you need 20 minutes in each of the 65 games but they allow two "near misses" where you can have slightly less.

I'm all for requiring 65 games, but the minutes restriction needs to be changed.
