KJ Simpson News: Starting Sunday

Simpson will start against the Nuggets on Sunday, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Collin Sexton (quadriceps) unavailable, Simpson will get the starting nod for the first time this season. The two-way player logged a season-high 28 minutes in Friday's win over the Raptors, during which he registered eight points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five steals, four assists and three rebounds.
