Duckworth Upset Over Playing Time

Center Kevin Duckworth, who played a season-low three minutes in Wednesday night’s 98-82 loss to the Miami Heat, refused comment after failing to score or get a rebound.

Duckworth, who has averaged 4.2 points and 2.2 rebounds, might be replaced in the starting lineup for tonight’s game against the Utah Jazz by Stanley Roberts, who has averaged 11 points and 5.3 rebounds, because Coach Bill Fitch wants to inject more energy into the lineup.
