David Lee on being out of Boston's rotation: 'I disagree with it'

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics forward David Lee said that he's been told he's out of the rotation for the immediate future as Boston looks to lean on smaller lineups.

Lee logged his second consecutive DNP -- Coach's Decision during Wednesday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. Lee is averaging 7.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.8 assists over 15.7 minutes per game in 29 appearances this season.

"Coach [Brad Stevens] came to me and said we’re going to try and go small at the 4, which means Kelly [Olynyk] and Jonas [Jerebko]," Lee said.
