Bazemore (ankle) will start tonight against the Grizzlies, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Bazemore has missed five straight games due to an ankle injury, but will return tonight. He has averaged 12.0 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks in 29 minutes per game through 12 games this season. He may see limited minutes in his first game back, which means Thabo Sefolosha could pick up some extra minutes Friday.
