Brodric Thomas starting for Cavaliers Saturday in place of concussed Jarrett Allen
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Brodric Thomas will start Saturday in the team's game against the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Thomas has been coming off the bench so far this season, but unfortunately for the Cavaliers, Jarrett Allen suffered a concussion and has entered the league's protocols. As such, a spot is open in the lineup down low, and for now, that role will go to Thomas as the Cavs employ a small-ball lineup. It's the rookie's first-career start.
In 10 games this season, Thomas has averaged 3.6 points, 1.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 8.0 FanDuel points.
