Pacers' C.J. Miles: Expected to start Friday vs. Grizzlies

Coach Nate McMillan noted that Miles is expected to start at shooting guard Friday against the Grizzlies, Nate Taylor of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Analysis:

Miles' insertion into the starting five will be contingent on Thaddeus Young (wrist) being cleared to play, but with Young listed as probable after taking part in morning shootaround, that appears to be little more than a formality. With Miles reentering the top unit, Slam Dunk Contest champion Glenn Robinson will presumably head back to the bench and be in store for a drop in playing time.
