INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Kyle Korver's playing time has been sporadic this season. On Sunday, when he was temporarily removed from the rotation in favor of a youth movement, Korver received a DNP-CD (Did Not Play-Coach's Decision)
First reported by The Athletic, Korver, Channing Frye and JR Smith -- the team's elder statesmen -- were informed that they were going to be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future during a meeting with head coach Tyronn Lue and general manager Koby Altman on Saturday afternoon. That was one day before the Cavaliers' embarrassing loss against the Atlanta Hawks in the home opener.
