“It’s 100 percent health (related),” Kerr said. “I’ve been conferring with the training staff on every day on this trip. I ultimately deferred to Chelsea (Lane) and Mike Err and Drew Yoder. Biggest thing I asked them was the best game we can benefit from. Those four guys are high minutes guys. They said no doubt, it’s San Antonio. We’re going to get in at 3 a.m., those guys are playing big minutes and this will give them three days before our home game and then we’ll have a whole week at home next week to get recharged. It’s my call.”
