Mohamed Diawara News: Listed as starter Friday

Diawara is listed in the starting lineup for Friday's preseason game against the Hornets.

Karl-Anthony Towns (quad), Josh Hart (back) and OG Anunoby (ankle) are sitting out Friday's exhibition, so Diawara will get the start and could see heavy minutes. Joining him in the first unit Friday night will be Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Jordan Clarkson and Trey Jemison.
