The question — would Paul start or not? — has followed the Warriors since they acquired the 12-time All-Star and member of the NBA’s 75th anniversary team this past summer. Paul has said he wants to start; Warriors coach Steve Kerr has said that he considers Golden State a team that has six starters.
With Paul’s streak now over, Milwaukee’s Damian Lillard — who was playing in the 833rd game of his career on Sunday night — now has more starts than any other active player without an appearance as a reserve. Dallas’ Kyrie Irving is next on that list, with all of his 748 NBA appearances being starts.
