David Lee did not get off the bench in Monday's win over the Nets, and it was a coach's decision, Scott Souza of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

While Lee tweaked his foot during warmups, coach Brad Stevens confirmed that the forward was, indeed, available and that it was Stevens' decision to keep him on the bench. Lee missed two games recently with a back issue, but even when healthy he's rarely seen more than 18 minutes per game. The Florida product concluded the month of December with averages of just 8.3 points and 5.1 rebounds in 16.6 minutes. As of now, it appears he's firmly entrenched behind Amir Johnson, Kelly Olynyk and Jared Sullinger in the frontcourt rotation.
