Vujacic will continue to start in place of the injured Arron Afflalo (hamstring) according to coach Derek Fisher, Ian Begley of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Vujacic has had an underwhelming start to the season, averaging only 5.8 points on 29 percent shooting in his four starts. However, it appears Fisher isn't considering fiddling with his starting lineup until Afflalo returns from his hamstring injury. This is good news for Vujacic at the moment, as he should continue seeing close to 25 minutes per game as a starter. However, once Afflalo returns, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see Vujacic go back to the bench where he'll share minutes with fellow guards Langston Galloway and Jerian Grant.
