Lonzo did not start the game opener for the Lakers last night in favor of Rajon Rondo.
What's the track record for a player starting his rookie year and then being moved to the bench for his second year? That kind of backwards trajectory seems like a bad sign and I'm having trouble thinking of an all star that took a path like that.
It's too early to say he's been moved to the bench.
The reason for the low minutes and not starting is because he's on a minutes restriction coming back from a knee injury, only played 1 preseason game, missed most of training camp, etc.
TP. I didn't realize he was on a minutes restriction. It did seem weird.
