"I know this will not be a popular opinion in the league office, but I will continue to say it because it's obvious we need to play fewer games -- we need to take 10 games off the schedule. I think it would be a more competitive and healthier league if we played fewer games."
"Curry has been battling knee injuries most of the season and Jimmy Butler tore his ACL in early January. Horford has been dealing with a calf injury while Draymond Green and Porzingis have both been nursing sore backs."
Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis, and Al Horford will play fewer than 40 minutes in the Warriors' play-in game against the Clippers. The Warriors, who finished the season at 37-45, face elimination if they lose. Curry has struggled with knee injuries, while Horford has a calf issue. Coach Steve Kerr advocates for a shorter regular-season schedule to reduce injuries. The Clippers' Kawhi Leonard rested before the play-in, having had a strong season with a career-high average of 27.9 points.
