Wilson Chandler’s minute restriction meant to build up his stamina

Wilson Chandler remains on a minutes restriction despite being healed from a left hamstring strain he suffered in the 76ers preseason opener against Melbourne United.

The injury kept him sidelined the first nine games of the season before he returned on Nov. 3 against the Detroit Pistons, playing just 9 minutes, 30 seconds in his debut with the Sixers. Chandler then sat out the second night of a back-to-back in Brooklyn on Sunday, before playing just over 15 minutes on the road against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Prior to Friday's home game against the Charlotte Hornets, Brett Brown said that Chandler would continue to play around 15 minutes per game.
