Hasheem Thabeet returned to action from a broken jaw on Wednesday and had four points, four boards and a block in the win.
Coach Lionel Hollins plans on giving Thabeet more playing time going forward, but we doubt he cuts into Marc Gasol's minutes too much. "I just think he needs to play," Hollins said, adding, "You look at the situation, where we are, do I play guys who really aren't the future? I decided he's got to get out there and take his lumps." In other words, keep your eye on the rookie.
