With Andrew Wiggins struggling to start the season and Draymond Green set to serve the first game of his indefinite schedule, Steve Kerr is making a change to the Golden State Warriors’ starting lineup on Thursday against the Los Angeles Clippers.
Wiggins will shift to a role off the bench, while rookie Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuninga will enter the starting lineup alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney.
