Impact Wallace got the start Friday due to the absence of Chet Holmgren (hip) and delivered a massive impact, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first tme since Feb. 25, when he had 23 points in a loss to Detroit.

Wallace should return to a bench if Holmgren returns to the starting unit against the Knicks on Sunday.
