McCollum is in the starting lineup for Thursday's exhibition against the Pistons.

McCollum received a rest day Monday, but he'll be back in action Thursday night, which will shift Tre Johnson back to the second unit. McCollum should start the season strong in D.C., but if he's not traded at the deadline, he will be in danger of getting shut down later in the season, as the Wizards aren't expected to contend this year.
