"We're going through it. We're about as beaten up as any team I can ever remember. The Warriors have been missing their two best players for more than a month. Jimmy Butler tore his ACL in early January and is out for the season. Stephen Curry has been sidelined since Jan. 30 because of a persistent right knee issue."
"Stephen Curry missed his 16th consecutive game on Friday night, and the Warriors have gone 5-11 in that stretch to fall to 32-34, two games behind the LA Clippers (winners of four straight) for the eighth seed in the Western Conference."
"With a calf, we're not going to rush him back. This latest wave of injuries comes at an inopportune time for the Warriors. They begin a six-game road trip on Sunday night in New York against the 43-25 Knicks and will also make stops in Boston, Detroit and Atlanta."
The Golden State Warriors experienced a devastating night, losing 127-117 to the Minnesota Timberwolves while four players sustained injuries. Draymond Green was scratched before the game due to lower back soreness, Al Horford left after five minutes with calf tightness, Seth Curry departed in the second quarter with adductor soreness, and Quinten Post sprained his ankle. The Warriors have been without their two best players for over a month: Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL in early January, and Stephen Curry has been sidelined since January 30 with a knee issue. With this fourth consecutive loss, the Warriors fell to 32-34, two games behind the LA Clippers for the eighth playoff seed. Coach Steve Kerr described the team as severely depleted, and the Warriors face a challenging six-game road trip beginning Sunday.
