I think he wears down over the course of the season and can't handle playing 30 minutes anymore. Keeping him healthy will be important for the playoffs considering Mitch's refusal to get us a big man worth a damn.
I do think playing small yesterday made sense, since Phoenix likes to beat teams' second units with Saric at center. And I can't even remember Zeller doing anything on the court yesterday. I legitimately thought he was DNP until i looked at a box score. The problem isn't that Zeller plays limited minutes, the problem is it means minutes for Biz, or playing small and getting killed in the paint.
like..... some of that would make sense if PJ didn't have literally 0 points in 40+ minutes through a close game
