That's my gut feeling, maybe 10-15 minutes, depending. i don't see a reason to have 2 practices and participate in a shoot around and not play.
I would be surprised to see that.
If he practices today and they see how he feels tomorrow and he practices again, then Wed would be his first full day to rest to have his legs recover. Then he will have some spring in his step TH. Then there is a game Friday. That would be good timing for him to have his legs under him enough to come off the bench. Then he get a few more day to get up to 100% before the next game where he might start against ATL where he would be chasing around Kyle then CLE the next night.
Thats what I expect.
but thats the thing. I doubt that they practice today. You dont get to have real practices that much in the NBA due to the schedule. They will probably have a lil walkthrough and a film session with a shoot around. They also wont practice on Thursday with another game on Friday. The good thing is that because of that, most coaches just throw guys out there since there is no time to practice anyways. They have to knock off rust and get there legs in the games.
With that being said, Im not for the bench stuff. I say if he's ready to play then he should start right off the bat. You can still limit his minutes in the starting lineup and it will probably be easier for him with all the talent around him and Wall feeding him open shots. I just dont want Temple to start and then Beal eating up Butler's minutes or Porters. He should be eating up Temples
