Sampson (hip) played only nine minutes in Sunday's 112-92 loss to the Celtics, finishing with two points (1-3 FG) and one rebound.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson, who exited early in the 76ers' previous game Wednesday against the Magic with a hip pointer, was cleared to rejoin the starting lineup Sunday despite the return of Nik Stauskas (shoulder), but that didn't end up meaning a whole lot. Stauskas (15 minutes) and fellow reserve wings Isaiah Canaan (15 minutes) and Hollis Thompson (24 minutes) all ended up playing more than Sampson, who could fall back to a bench role in short order.
