Jacque Vaughn: “We want [Ben Simmons and TJ Warren] to be healthy at the end of the year”

“I think we’ve continued to build their minutes up but not to the point where it’s too many,” Brooklyn Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said – referring to both Ben Simmons and T.J. Warren, who recently returned from an injury of his own. “And so we want both those guys to be healthy at the end of the year. 

“So we got to be smart about how we use those guys going forward, whether that’s back-to-backs how we use those minutes, whether that is how many minutes they play in a single game. I think we have enough depth to use their minutes judiciously and to be able to play at a pace that we want to and still play hard.”
