Spurs' Nicolas Laprovittola: Will start Wednesday

Laprovittola will draw his first start of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the Mavericks, Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reports.

Analysis:

Laprovittola is getting the spot start, as Tony Parker, who will still suit up, is not expected to play. The 26-year-old Argentinian was just recalled from the D-League on Tuesday. He played a small role in nine games with the team earlier in the season, but they likely want to see what he is capable of offering in a larger role.
