Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he isn’t worried about establishing a starting lineup for the upcoming season.
“We’ll just do it like we’ve always done it,” Stevens told Chris Mannix of Yahoo Sports during an episode of Mannix’s podcast that aired Tuesday.
Boston’s starting five for its last game of the postseason consisted of Jayson Tatum, Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, Terry Rozier, and Aron Baynes, but the imminent returns of All-Stars Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving are expected to prompt some adjustments. Stevens said he doesn’t know just yet how the minutes will be distributed, but he’s not anticipating any internal conflict over playing time.
