MILWAUKEE – Greg Monroe will start in place of Tyson Chandler at center Monday against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Interim coach Jay Triano said there are three reasons for the change. First, Monroe has been a good soldier in dealing with his inactivity; he's played just twice in the past 12 games and one of those appearances was a three-minute stint against Indiana.
Second, it's an opportunity to give him a start against his former team. The Bucks dealt Monroe to the Suns as part of the Eric Bledsoe deal earlier this season.
Finally, Triano said Chandler is feeling a bit fatigued and could use a night off.
