Plenty of fans speculated that Turner wasn't playing more due to a recent calf strain that caused him to miss time. That would have made sense, but Doc Rivers shot down the idea, telling reporters it isn't the case. There is no minute restriction.

This is simply how Rivers has liked utilizing his players, even if it means Turner is an afterthought in the nightly rotation.
