Warriors big man Al Horford and guard Seth Curry will be reevaluated in a week after undergoing MRIs on their respective injuries, according to Nick Friedell of The Athletic (Twitter link).
Horford was diagnosed with a calf strain after leaving Friday’s game against Minnesota in the first quarter with what was initially referred to as right calf tightness. Kerr said after the final whistle that he expected Horford to miss multiple games.
Curry exited the Wolves game early as well, heading to the locker room in the second quarter with what is now being called a left adductor strain.
Horford has made 43 appearances for the Warriors, who are 32-35 after dropping Sunday’s matchup with the Knicks. He has averaged 8.3 points and 5.0 rebounds in 21.7 minutes per game this season. Curry has struggled to stay on the floor at all, missing a significant chunk of the season due to sciatica and playing just four times since signing with the club at the start of December.
Golden State was also without Draymond Green (back injury management), Kristaps Porzingis (illness management), De’Anthony Melton (knee injury management), and Stephen Curry (knee) on Sunday.
Glad the Knicks finally woke up and did their job tonight. Warriors should probably lose every single game from here on out and shoot for that ninth pic.
Quick sidenote, did anyone ever tell Quentin Post you need to catch the ball with two hands? My goodness people.
Yeah, those turnovers have been an issue all season long.
How could the Knicks have let it get so close? I expected a blow out.
But, you have to admit. The fire in their bellys is good thing. They may lose the rest of the season. But, it is something they can build on. It felt like they were to frightened to score when Curry was on the court. Now, maybe they’ll have to confidence to score when they have the opportunity
we are seeing who can play and who can’t.
I’m starting to genuinely wonder if Curry is going to retire with a 60+ loss team just like Kobe’s final years
Being reevaluated in one week is just a nice way of kicking the can down the road so they can repeat the process until the end of the season. They’re doing the same with Steph Curry.
Kerr says Curry will play by the end of the season.
I think the Grizzlies left the injury curse on the warriors. Or maybe it was the Pelicans. You can see kerr is starting to lose it by yelling at Richards for a ball that he could catch.
Yep, I’m glad someone noticed that. That was wild, Kerr is tripping balls. You’re talking about the pass from Podz, right? That was awful. Richards seemed quite confused. Wasn’t even a Knick over half court. I’m not sure why Podz had to throw that way out in front.
The whole team has had the turnover bug all season long. It has cost them quite a few games.
