when does demar come back?

After another scan for his groin, DeMar opted to try to get some more practices to stay in game shape. Casey agreed and said that there's no need to rush anything.

He was supposed to comeback against the Hornets, but now it seems like he'll be back vs the Sixers next Wednesday.


He was in the tunnel greeting the team at half time.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ross lose his starting spot to JJ when Demar is back. Even if it creates a big lack of perimeter shooting. Just give it a shot and see what happens.

How's this for a possible lineup change ?

Lowry
DeRozan
J.Johnson
Patterson
Valanciunas

Vasquez
Williams
Ross
A.Johnson
Hansbrough/Hayes

They don't lose spacing or defense for the starting lineup and the bench plays with a lot of energy too.

I was thinking about Patterson starting too. It would make for much better balance but would they really take out Amir? I'm not sure how that would affect things behind the scenes, whether Amir would understand, etc.

In all honesty, they probably won't. Amir is still the best defensive big, best screen setter, rotates well, etc...

Amir is a team player and is one of the veteran players on this team. He would probably understand a bench move if it helps make the team better. It's also to get him more rest for his ankles too.
