What happened

Mike Brown said he will not make a panic change, calling Mikal Bridges a starter despite his shooting slump and early-season inconsistency.

He also said Landry Shamet and Miles McBride are playing well enough that it may be hard to find minutes for Bridges, and perhaps Josh Hart.

LINEUP CONTEXT

If Shamet and McBride keep defending at this level, Brown may keep mixing lineups, leaving Bridges and Hart's minutes fluid.
