Nicholson will start at power forward for Thursday's game against the Sixers, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Markieff Morris (foot) was originally slated to make a return to the court, but he ended up being a late scratch, giving Nicholson the opportunity to join the starting lineup. Look for Nicholson to potentially see additional minutes Thursday, while Jason Smith could see additional time as well.
