DENVER - Warriors forward Jason Thompson, who has played only 18 minutes all season, will start in place of Draymond Green on Wednesday night against the Nuggets.
“He just has to play his game,” Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said. “He’s played in this league for a long time and has started for most of his career. You don’t ever try to be somebody you’re not, and you don’t ever try to do things that you’re not used to doing.
“He’s a good athlete, he sets screens and he can knock down mid-range jump shots, so we expect him to do those types of things.
