Anthony Edwards, Joe Ingles, Jaden McDaniels, Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert will start against the Pelicans on Friday.
Analysis: The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski reported that head coach Chris Finch is starting Ingles because his family is at the game. His son Jacob, who is autistic, sat through an entire game for the first time; the sensory overload of the arena had previously been too much for him. However, Ingles didn't see the floor. Finch is starting Ingles so that Jacob can see his dad play and start. It's unclear how much Ingles will play, and he is replacing Mike Conley in the starting lineup. Conley should still see close to his typical workload.
Joe Ingles (left soleus strain) will play against Houston on Friday.
Analysis: Ingles will be available for this game, but he has barely been part of the team's rotation when healthy. His status won't impact fantasy basketball.
