Sampson will start for Philadelphia in Wednesday's game against Boston, Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Sampson will get the start in the regular season opener Wednesday due to Nik Stauskus (leg) being limited with a stress reaction in his right leg. Sampson will likely see significant time on the court with Stauskus limited, and could continue to start until Stauskus gets back to full health.
