Illustration (how to track his status)
- If you’re watching for starting status, check game previews 24 hours before tip-off for notes like “Reed starts” or “Reed off the bench.” If Duren or Stewart are unavailable, Reed’s likely role expands. If both are healthy, Reed often comes off the bench with limited minutes.
