Klay Thompson to come off bench vs. Jazz on Thursday, Brandin Podziemski to start
Coming off a rough loss to the Los Angeles Clippers that included a fourth-quarter breakdown, the Golden State Warriors are shaking their starting lineup up for their game on Thursday against the Utah Jazz.
For the first time since his rookie season in 2012, 10-year veteran Klay Thompson will come off the bench. With Thompson on the bench, Steve Kerr has opted for rookie Brandin Podziemski in the starting lineup.

Brandin Podziemski is starting in Klay Thompson’s place tonight in Utah. Thompson not currently listed on injury report, so appears to be coming off the bench. The lineup: Steph Curry, Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green.
