Golden State Warriors Navigate Preseason Without Klay Thompson

The Warriors are testing new lineups and players as they adapt to the absence of Klay Thompson ahead of the regular season opener.

Steph Curry and Draymond Green remain the only guaranteed starters as the Warriors explore new lineup combinations.
New additions Buddy Hield, De'Anthony Melton, and Kyle Anderson are being evaluated to fill the void left by Thompson.
Brandin Podziemski, a potential playmaker, has impressed but left a recent game with a nose contusion.
Kevon Looney's improved conditioning and performance have secured his spot in the rotation, especially alongside Green.
Jonathan Kuminga's evolving role and shooting improvement could be pivotal, though his position remains fluid.
