Pacers' Obi Toppin: Entering starting five

Toppin (foot) will start at power forward Thursday's game against Charlotte, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Toppin will enter the starting five in his first action since Oct. 26 following a lengthy recovery from right foot surgery. It's not quite clear how much he'll play while on a minutes limit, so there should still be plenty of opportunities off the bench for the likes of Kobe Brown and Micah Potter.
