After playing him a grand total of two minutes in the first three games, Cleveland Cavaliers coach Ty Lue told reporters Tristan Thompson will see increased playing time off the bench in Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Indiana Pacers.
Thompson, 27, averaged 20.2 minutes per game during the regular season but has been jettisoned from the rotation during the playoffs as the Cavs have gone small. Cleveland will continue to start Kevin Love at center but may wind up giving minutes that previously belonged to Jeff Green to Thompson.
