76ers' Nik Stauskas: Returns to lineup Friday

Stauskas (knee) came off the bench in Friday's loss to the Rockets, scoring four points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding three assists, two rebounds and two steals in 15 minutes off the bench.

He wasn't expected to suit up at all on the current road trip, so his ability to play even in a limited capacity is a good sign. Neither T.J. McConnell not JaKarr Sampson have done much in Stauskas' place, so expect the second-year shooting guard to return to the starting lineup as soon as he can handle a larger workload.
