Al Horford signing immediately delivers gut punch to young Warriors center

The free agency addition of Al Horford was always going to have a trickle down effect on a number of Golden State Warriors players, with young center Trayce Jackson-Davis perhaps the early loser from the 39-year-old's arrival.

After finishing last season as Golden State's starting center in the second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Jackson-Davis was a complete DNP in Steve Kerr's rotation for the season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena.

The Warriors started small with Draymond Green at the five alongside Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga in the frontcourt, leaving Horford to play 20 minutes off the bench in his debut with the franchise.
