Injury Report: Klay Thompson late scratch vs. Sixers due to illness, Brandin Podziemski starting

While most of the attention was on the status of reigning Most Valuable Player Joel Embiid for Tuesday night, it was the Golden State Warriors who were without a key starter against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Klay Thompson was a late scratch due to an illness. Rookie Brandin Podziemski will slide into the starting lineup alongside Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Dario Saric and Jonathan Kuminga against the Sixers.

During the 2023-24 campaign, Thompson is averaging 17.6 points per game on 42.1% shooting from the field and 38.5% from beyond the arc.

After he missed the previous two games, Embiid returns to the Philadelphia starting lineup on Tuesday.
