Spurs' Luka Samanic: Starting vs. Thunder

Samanic will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Dan Weiss of Fox Sports Southwest reports.

The Spurs have an extensive injury report, and coach Gregg Popovich will opt to give Samanic the nod while LaMarcus Aldridge comes off the bench during his first game back from a hip injury. The second-year forward has put up great numbers in the G League, averaging 21.8 points, 11.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 32.7 minutes.
