Timberwolves' Shabazz Muhammad: Will start at shooting guard Wednesday

Muhammed will start at shooting guard in Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Analysis:

This will be the first start of the season for Muhammed, who will replace Brandon Rush, who is out with an illness, in the starting five. Muhammad has typically as of late played anywhere between 15 and 20 minutes as a reserve, so look for him to play 25-plus minutes in Rush's absence Wednesday with Minnesota light on backcourt depth.
