minutes played. I knew he was up there but I didnt know he was leading the league. Im not sure what to make of that or than I would hope that if Oden and Aldridge can continue to step it up then he should be able to rest more. Whats weird is that is seems like he has been sitting out a lot late in games that arent close lately. Minutes Played 1. Brandon Roy-POR 583 2. Chris Kaman-LAC 562 3. Rudy Gay-MEM 558 4. Joe Johnson-ATL 542 5. Trevor Ariza-HOU 540 http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_2010_leaders.html Stats are fun.
But, looking at minutes per game, he's not even top 20. You have to take into account that we've played more games than anyone else in the NBA. 16 games is the most played right now. Behind us, are the Hornets and Clippers with 15. Everyone else has 14 or fewer.
