    Austin should probably see limited minutes if he feels good during shootaround. It won’t do much for his conditioning or rhythm, but there’s no better gauge than live NBA game speed. At least it gives the team a clear read on where he stands, no? Something like 15 to 20 minutes off the bench feels about right.

    Definitely. 100% agree that he needs some game time under his belt before facing OKC.

    Thanks Chuck :(
    Next game is a must win, so rest starters now (we're mid 3rd Q).
