Aldemir will likely start at center for the rest of the season, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Analysis:

Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers, 76ers coach Brett Brown said he wants to start Aldemir next to Nerlens Noel for the rest of the season. Making just his second start of the year, the Turkish rookie had 11 points and 10 boards in a career-high 27 minutes Sunday afternoon. While Aldemir will likely have a hard time matching those numbers in the coming days, he should be an excellent source of rebounds if he consistently gets minutes in the mid-20s or higher.
