76ers' Georges Niang: Enters starting lineup

Niang is starting Monday against Miami, Justin Grasso of SI.com reports.

With Joel Embiid (back) ruled out for Monday's matchup, Niang draws his first start since Feb. 17 against Milwaukee, when he logged 40 minutes in a victory. He's been a solid bench contributor for the Sixers of late, averaging 10.7 points and 3.9 rebounds in his last seven games.
