Lakers' David Nwaba: Will start Sunday vs. 76ers

Nwaba will draw the start at shooting guard for Sunday's tilt against the 76ers, Mike Trudell of Lakers.com reports.

After just signing a 10-day contract with the Lakers Feb. 28, the 6-4 guard will draw the start at shooting guard as coach Luke Walton is trying to get a look at his young players towards the end of the season. Through 40 games in the D-League, Nwaba averaged 14.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists across 28.7 minutes per game -- shooting 64.9 percent from the field but just 25.0 percent from beyond the arc. It's unclear how many minutes he'll receive Sunday, and his performance may determine whether or not he draws a start for the Lakers' next contest.
