Warriors’ JaMychal Green set to start in place of Kevon Looney in Game 2 vs. Lakers

The Golden State Warriors’ starting lineup will look different in Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night at San Francisco’s Chase Center. 

Instead of playoff standout Kevon Looney leading the frontcourt from the opening tip, JaMychal Green will slide into the starting lineup on Thursday night. While he won’t start due to an illness, he’s still expected to play in Game 2 against the Lakers.

Looney is coming off another 20-rebound performance in Game 1 against the Lakers on Tuesday. Looney has had 20 or more rebounds in four different games during the Warriors’ current playoff run. Looney has notched double-figure rebounding efforts in six consecutive games. 

During the 2023 postseason, Green has played in four games, averaging 1.5 points on 28.6% shooting from the field in 5.6 minutes per contest. Green has only started one other game during the 2022-23 regular season. 

The Warriors and Lakers will tip off Game 2 at 6 p.m. PT on Thursday night in San Francisco.
