Evan Turner starting instead of Allen Crabbe for Portland
Portland Trail Blazers guard Evan Turner will start for Moe Harkless (ankle) against the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday.
Original reports had Allen Crabbe filling in for Harkless, but head coach Terry Stotts has changed his mind and will give Turner his first start in a Blazers uniform. Crabbe will back him up off the bench.
Turner has quietly surged over his last nine games averaging 11.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the floor.
