Nolan Traore News: Draws rare start Thursday

Traore is starting Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Traore will draw the first start of his NBA career with Egor Demin (foot) sidelined. Traore sat out of Sunday's matchup against the Clippers due to illness and wasn't deployed off the bench despite being available Tuesday, but he'll be in line for his fair share of opportunities Thursday night.
