SALT LAKE CITY - Brandon Rush will start in place of Harrison Barnes for the second consecutive game, when the Warriors play the Utah Jazz on Monday night, according to interim head coach Luke Walton.
Barnes has a sprained left ankle, which won’t be reevaluated until Sunday — meaning the small forward will miss at least the Warriors’ next two games (at Charlotte on Wednesday and at Toronto on Saturday).
He was injured in the third quarter of Friday’s victory at Phoenix, when he came down on Markieff Morris’ foot and badly turned his ankle.
