Nuggets' Ty Lawson thrives with extra playing time

Posted Jan 9, 2014
Ty Lawson's smile is as wide as they come when he is asked how he likes his new life of playing additional minutes. Then the Nuggets' starting point guard grabs at his back. Because, in the NBA, more minutes hurt. "I love it. I love more minutes," Lawson said. "I'm just trying to maintain my body. Now that I'm playing like 40 minutes, I've got to know how to take care of (myself)." (Denver Post)
