Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Logs Starting Five Spot Wednesday
4 years agoBrooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot remained in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks, replacing the recently injured Spencer Dinwiddie (knee). Luwawu-Cabarrot drew his first start of the year Monday, but that came without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant in the lineup due to rest purposes; now, he'll get to play alongside them, albeit with a decreased offensive role. Luwawu-Cabarrot's spot in the starting five also means that Caris Levert will return to the bench, where he will continue to lead the team's second unit. Levert's upside was going to be capped by Irving/Durant's return regardless, but his position as a reserve is indicative of how the team plans to utilize him going forward.
