The Golden State Warriors are set to commence the 2025-26 NBA regular season on Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. As the team prepares for this high-stakes matchup, their starting lineup remains a topic of intrigue.
Warriors’ Lineup Features One Unsettled Position
Head Coach Steve Kerr has confirmed that certain players will start, but he has not disclosed the complete starting lineup. Key positions have been confirmed for four players:
- Stephen Curry
- Brandin Podziemski
- Jimmy Butler
- Draymond Green
The only uncertainty lies in the center position. Al Horford, who recently joined the team after signing from the Boston Celtics, stands out as a frontrunner for this role. Other potential candidates include:
- Trayce Jackson-Davis
- Quinten Post
Alternatively, the Warriors might consider using Draymond Green at center. This would allow for additional options, such as:
- Jonathan Kuminga
- Buddy Hield
- Rookie Will Richard
As opening night approaches, the Warriors face challenges with injuries. They will be missing both Moses Moody and De’Anthony Melton, which will impact their rotation. While Al Horford seems poised to start at center, the final decision will be unveiled by Coach Kerr before the game begins.
