Pelicans' Hollis Thompson: Will move to bench Tuesday

Thompson will move to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Justin Verrier of ESPN.com reports.

Since joining the Pelicans on his first 10-day contract, Thompson has started eight of the nine games he's played, posting averages of 3.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist across 21.1 minutes. He wasn't having much of an impact, which likely prompted coach Alvin Gentry to change up the starting five. Undrafted rookie Wayne Selden will start at shooting guard in his NBA debut and could take away most of the minutes that had been going to Thompson, who could fall out of the rotation as a result.
