Warriors’ Brandin Podziemski and Jonathan Kuminga to start on Thursday, Andrew Wiggins benched vs. Clippers

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.

Podziemski is coming off his first career double-double performance with 20 points and 11 rebounds against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. Over his last five games, Podziemski has scored in double-figures four times. The 2023 first-round pick has played double-figure minutes off the bench in his last 11 appearances.

Kuminga is averaging 15.2 points on 58.8% shooting from the field with 5.4 rebounds over his last five games.

The Warriors will meet the Clippers in Hollywood on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. PT.
