Jason Smith: Will start at power forward in preseason opener

Markieff Morris is expected to start at power forward once healthy, though he’s
expected to miss another five-to-six weeks while recovering from sports hernia
surgery. Smith will get the first shot at replacing him in the starting five,
but it wouldn’t be surprising if coach Scott Brooks continued to experiment with
alternative lineups throughout the rest of the preseason. It will be a situation
to monitor up until the regular-season opener.
