The San Antonio Spurs are making a significant lineup change for their upcoming game against the Indiana Pacers. Malaki Branham is set to start on Sunday, stepping in for the inactive Julian Champagnie. This decision sees Branham taking the starting position over Cedi Osman and Keldon Johnson.

Branham has been a consistent presence in the starting lineup throughout the season, having started 21 games so far. His performance has been notable, averaging 10.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while maintaining an impressive 48.6 percent shooting accuracy across 20 healthy games with the first unit.

Meanwhile, Keldon Johnson, despite recently returning to a 30-minute workload, will continue to provide offensive firepower coming off the bench.

This lineup change reflects the Spurs’ strategic approach as they seek to optimize their roster for upcoming games. With Branham stepping into the starting position, fans and analysts will be closely watching to see how this adjustment impacts the team’s performance on the court.
