Graham Ike starts for Warriors against Grizzlies in home opener

Graham Ike earned his first NBA start for the Golden State Warriors on October 24, 2026, against the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center. Due to a need for size in the lineup, coach Steve Kerr selected Ike to join Draymond Green in the starting front court. The rookie, who went undrafted after a successful college career at Gonzaga, previously scored eight points in his debut against the Los Angeles Lakers. In his starting role against the Grizzlies, Ike recorded 10 points, two rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 10 minutes. His performance included making two three-pointers, showcasing his scoring ability. The Warriors' roster is thin in the frontcourt with Kristaps Porzingis unavailable, indicating Ike may have an expanded role moving forward.
