Warriors’ Zaza Pachulia, David West return vs. Clippers
Centers Zaza Pachulia and David West are available to return from injury Thursday night against the Clippers, bringing the Warriors’ frontcourt to full strength.
Pachulia (strained right rotator cuff) and West (fractured left thumb) missed the past eight and 14 games, respectively.
Head coach Steve Kerr had considered keeping JaVale McGee, who thrived as the fill-in starter in Pachulia’s absence, with the first unit.
[...] after examining his substitution patterns, Kerr decided to return to what has worked most of the season.
