What It Means:

Vice President John Paxson announced a few changes going into the second half. At the head of it all is youth, and that leaves Lopez as a bit of an afterthought. It's expected to be a long-term post-break move, so Lopez could see his production dip considerably over the last 20-plus games. Cristiano Felicio is starting in his stead.

Through 57 starts, Lopez has put up 12.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.7 minutes per game.
