Ja Morant Returns to Starting Lineup for Preseason Finale

Portland Trail Blazers guard Ja Morant will start in Friday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors, according to Anthony Slater of ESPN.com. Morant previously came off the bench in Wednesday's 110-98 preseason victory over the Sacramento Kings. For Friday's preseason finale, Morant is re-entering the starting unit, which pushes Scoot Henderson back to the bench as the team finalizes preparations for the upcoming regular season.
