Tristan Thompson to Replace Jae Crowder in Cavaliers Starting Lineup

Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue said Thursday that center Tristan Thompson will rejoin the starting lineup, replacing Jae Crowder, according to Dave McMenamin of ESPN.

That will result in a starting five of Isaiah Thomas at point guard, JR Smith at shooting guard, LeBron James at small forward, Kevin Love at power forward—a far more natural position for Love than center, where he's played much of the year—and Thompson at center.
