Achiuwa will return to the bench in Friday's preseason finale against the Wizards, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Achiuwa got the start during Wednesday's preseason game against the Hornets, during which he produced a 20-point double-double with 16 rebounds. However, the starters are back with OG Anunoby (rest) and Karl-Anthony Towns (rest) running the frontcourt.
