Reed Sheppard to Come Off Bench Thursday Against 76ers

Reed Sheppard will not be in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. According to Will Guillory of The Athletic, the Rockets have opted for a different starting unit for this matchup. While Sheppard will not start, he is still expected to play a significant role in the rotation. This change comes as Houston looks to capitalize on the absence of Joel Embiid in the Philadelphia frontcourt. Fans should watch for how his minutes are distributed.
