Best I can tell it was November of 2021, We played about 15-20 games with what I considered to be our core starting lineup at the time - melo, Terry, miles, Gordon, and Mason or PJ, We also had Cody Martin and Kelly oubre. Mason was the starting center for the first half and then he got injured. PJ was out for that stretch. And pj came back around the time Mason got injured it was the starting center. There was an overlap up about maybe 5-10 games We're both Mason and PJ were healthy along with everyone else.
After that pretty much one of our core starters was out, with Gordon obviously missing the entire second half of the season.
The next year was the Miles Bridges suspension. So it didnt at all in 2022 23. then last year it definitely didn't happen. So about three calendar years since we had a full starting lineup. Even if you remove miles from consideration during his suspension year I don't really think it was more than a few games that we had what would have been our core starting lineup of melo, terry, kelly/cody, pj, mark/mason
