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.
Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:
In 49 games, Thompson is averaging 17 points on 41.5% shooting from the field and 36.8% from long distance to go along with 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 30.6 minutes per game.
Despite scoring 26 points against the Jazz on Monday, Thompson is coming off a quiet performance against the Clippers on Wednesday, scoring 12 points on 4-of-14 shooting from the field.
The Warriors will meet the Jazz in Utah on Thursday night at 6 p.m. PT.
