Wizards' Andrew Nicholson: Starts at power forward Thursday

Nicholson will start at power forward in Thursday's preseason game against the Sixers, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Markieff Morris (foot) was originally slated to play Thursday, but he ended up being a late scratch following warmups, allowing Nicholson to enter the lineup. The move should translate to a boost in minutes for Nicholson, with he and Jason Smith likely to handle most of the duties at the position.
