Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski starting vs. Kings in preseason
In their third preseason contest of the 2023 campaign, the Golden State Warriors will be without both Chris Paul and Stephen Curry on Sunday night against the Sacramento Kings. With Paul and Curry getting a veteran rest day against the Kings, two spots in Steve Kerr’s starting lineup will be open on Sunday evening.
After a pair of solid preseason games against the Lakers, rookie Brandin Podziemski will get the start at guard against the Kings.
