Clowney is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the 76ers, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Clowney is expected to be a bench option in the regular season, but he'll get the starting nod Thursday because Michael Porter (wrist) won't start. Clowney is coming off a career-best 2025-26 season, averaging 12.3 points per game in 66 regular-season appearances, including 60 starts.
