Sampson returned to the bench against the Pacers Friday. He scored 11 points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and added two rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 20 minutes.Sampson was replaced in the starting lineup by Jason Richardson (foot), who was playing his first game in over two years. Richardson is a big unknown at this point in his career, given his age, injury history, and time off the court, but it seems as though he'll have the starting job as long as he is healthy. That's bad news for Sampson, since it makes it harder for him to earn extra playing time.
