Trail Blazers guard Brandon Roy says he's going to have to reduce his minutes as a result of numerous nagging injuries.

Roy has averaged 20.3 points, 3.8 rebounds and three assists a night while averaging almost 39 minutes a game this season.

"Does it concern me? Yeah," Roy told The Oregonian.

"I would love to play more minutes and have a much better body, but it's just not the case, so I have to try and make the most of what it is. I had a phone call yesterday and in talking to a few people, it is somewhat of a reality check. This is what it is, and now you have to make the most of it."

Roy said the past week was especially tough on him because Portland played five games in seven nights.

"I have to try and preserve as much as I can," Roy said. "The biggest thing is if we can limit the minutes, I can be more explosive instead of trying to run along for 40 minutes. That's maybe just too much time."
