Toppin (foot) will start at power forward Thursday's game against Charlotte, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.
Toppin will enter the starting five in his first action since Oct. 26 following a lengthy recovery from right foot surgery. It's not quite clear how much he'll play while on a minutes limit, so there should still be plenty of opportunities off the bench for the likes of Kobe Brown and Micah Potter.
