Crawford will start for the Clippers against Phoenix on Thursday, Ben Bolch of the L.A. Times reports.

Analysis:

Crawford will make his first start of the season in place of J.J. Redick (back) on Thursday. The guard has been seeing a good amount of minutes off the bench this season, which makes his replacing of Redick unsurprising given that Crawford likely is the number two shooting guard. It's unclear how long Redick will be out, but when he returns Crawford will likely slide back into his backup role.
