Please, could someboy explain me why Lopez play only foru minutes last game? I've seen that he begin as a starter and only 4 minutes in a pre-season game por a starter looks very strange for me.
Is he injured again?
Thanks

He had a minor injury (ankle twist I believe) and as a precautionary, they sat him..

He's not going to start once the regular season comes. Carlos Arroyo will probably get the nod and if he plays well will keep it. Raul will have to show Sloan he is ready and prepared to take a starters job. He needs to show that he can handle all the pressures and negativitys that point guards get while running there teams. I'm not sure if Lopez is ready for that yet. Give him a year or two before we see his full potential. That knee injury kind of freaks me out about him too.

Lopez is a very good player and if he can finally stay healthy, the Jazz will find plenty of minutes for him whether he starts or not. I think he's going to develop quickly (again...IF he can stay healthy).

Of course you have to worry about the knee, but what's all this about missong preseason games due to "muscle fatigue?" Now THAT may be something to worry about.
