Harkless got the start Thursday against Toronto with Noah Vonleh injured, Eric Ringering of 750thegame reports.

Analysis:

Bringing Harkless into the rotation allows coach Terry Stotts to maintain his typical rotations with Meyers Leonard serving as the backup center to Mason Plumlee. Harkless is unlikely to receive the typical starters minutes load, as he has not played more than three minutes in a game over the past two weeks.
