Coach Carlisle had this to say about the injury during his pregame media availability on May 14.
“He’s been battling a lot of little things on and off. This Achilles thing has been quote-un-quote manageable to an extent. It’s gotten into a bit of a yo-yo good days bad days thing. It’s tough for a guy who really depends on his quickness to guard smaller guys on switches, to protect the rim, to rebound.”

Right. So when he’s healthy he’s been the starter. He hasn’t been replaced.
