In a report from cleveland.com’s Joe Vardon, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue discussed his plan for using Derrick Rose once he returns. He’ll play in place of Dwyane Wade so that the elder statesmen can get needed rest.
“I think playing D Wade on a lot of back to backs has been tough for him,” Lue said Friday, after the team practiced in Orlando. “Some games where he doesn’t feel great, but we don’t really have the extra ball handler to sit him. So when D Rose gets back, he’ll definitely help with that and help with D Wade getting his rest and being able to feel good on the floor.
