Starters for Clipper game



Here at shootaround in Seattle, Chauncey Billups says the starters for tonight’s preseason opener vs. the Clippers will be Scoot Henderson, Kris Murray, Toumani Camara, Jerami Grant and Deandre Ayton.

Shaedon Sharpe, Robert Williams III, Anfernee Simons and Matisse Thybulle are out with injuries. Deni Avdija isn’t playing because he’s observing Yom Kippur.

    Highkin also added: Simons has minor ankle soreness. Nothing they’re worried about. Billups: “He’s fine.”

    Already in mid-season form with the injuries, the tank off to a good start.

    Ugh Kris Murray at the 2 is going to be clunky at best

    Banton and Graham will get plenty of PT. No other ball handlers/creators.

    I’m actually thankful they’re balancing young development with vet management. There’s no reason Kris and Toumani shouldn’t get an opportunity to show progress. Or, show lack of

    Toumani starting is exciting at least🙌

    Scoot really doesn’t get a lot of help with the shooting lmao

    Ok if using preseason for data gathering. Just don’t overstate injuries too much once the season starts if we’re if looking to make some trades. The sooner vet value is rehabilitated, the sooner moves can be made for the real data gathering.

    Can’t wait to see Toumani again making life miserable for the opposing players.

    Missed him the last part of the season

    It’s gonna be a 15 win season isn’t it? Everyone hates NBA purgatory but being a fan of a tanking injured team is absolute hell
