Timme won't start Thursday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports. With LeBron James (foot) back in the lineup following a one-game absence, Timme will retreat to the second unit. The big man isn't guaranteed meaningful playing time Thursday, and he has averaged 1.8 points across 7.4 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Drew Timme: Breaking News
Starting vs. OKC
Timme will start Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Thuc Nhi Nguyen of the Los Angeles Times reports. The Lakers will be without multiple key contributors Tuesday, opening the door for Timme to make his first start of the season. He's averaging 3.1 points in 8.1 minutes per contest across 23 regular-season games, though he'll likely see a significant bump in minutes against the Thunder.
Plays 23 minutes in win
Timme ended Friday's 128-117 win over Indiana with four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes. With the Lakers' frontcourt severely depleted due to the absences of Deandre Ayton (knee) and Maxi Kleber (back), Timme was called up from the G League and thrust into a significant rotation role. Though he wasn't asked to carry the scoring load he usually manages for South Bay, the two-way big man provided 23 minutes of play, marking his second highest minute total at the NBA level this season. While he is likely to return to a high-usage role in the G League once the parent club's veterans get healthy, he proved on Friday that he can provide reliable depth when the Lakers are thinned out.
