“I’m trying to figure it out, man. Honestly, I’m trying to figure all that out,” Turner said after shootaround on Tuesday. “Some days, I’ll play 22 (minutes). Some days, it’s 28. I think everybody in the organization is trying to figure it out — just different lineups, different combination of guys. “At times, we like to go with switching lineups, so they put Jericho (Sims) or Ous (Ousmane Dieng) or Kuz (Kyle Kuzma), one of those guys at my position. But all I can do is go out there, just stay consistent, put my work in every single day, just to be available and be healthy. And whatever’s asked of me to do, just go out there and do.”
When asked about Rivers’ decision not to play him against Boston, Kuzma told reporters that Rivers had not discussed it with him beforehand. “At the end of the day, Doc is the final arbiter,” Kuzma said. “He can make decisions on whatever he wants — and rightfully so, he’s the coach. That’s not my job to worry about. My job is to come out and just be a professional. That’s who I am, that’s who my character is and play when my number is called.”

Ivica Zubac: It was the third year. I finished my first season strong, played pretty well. Then Magic Johnson came to the team. Before Summer League, they told me I had to be Summer League MVP. If not, they’d be disappointed. I wasn’t MVP. Q. You weren’t? Zubac: No. We won the Summer League. I played well, but not MVP. That team was loaded. The best team in Summer League history. Me, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, Alex Caruso, Thomas Bryant was coming off the bench. Seven or eight legit NBA guys. How can you be MVP on that team? Sometimes you can’t even get the ball. We won it all. Summer League ends. The season starts soon. Two weeks before the season, they sign Andrew Bogut. Magic Johnson calls me in. Says I didn’t improve all summer. “You didn’t improve. You won’t play.” Camp hadn’t even started. And he’s telling me I won’t play. I’m thinking, I stayed all summer, didn’t play for the national team. All summer in L.A. with my trainers. Strength coach, skill coach, did everything they wanted. What else could I do? If I didn’t improve, that’s on you. Second season, I barely played at all. Third season starts, they sign JaVale McGee. He’s the starter, no other real center. Michael Beasley plays backup center.
