"We've got a chance to get recharged here over the break, Kerr said. We've got plenty to play for. Obviously we'll have to incorporate Kristaps (Porzingis), get Steph (Curry) back. I feel like we can be a really good team and I feel like our guys are showing why with the way they're competing, and moving the ball, and playing together."
"As he alluded to, Golden State expects Curry to return from an absence forced by his runner's knee ailment and new center Porzingis to join the lineup as he works back from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, an illness that affects his heart rate. Porzingis was the lone addition for the team during last week's trade deadline that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta in exchange for the Latvian big man."
"Breakthrough guard Pat Spencer, no spring chicken by NBA standards at 29, acknowledged that the Warriors are not a young team. Among those with old legs are Curry (37), Draymond Green (35), Al Horford (39), Seth Curry (35) and Payton (33). Giving the millennial cohort a chance to put a pause on physically taxing basketball games can only help the Warriors"
The Warriors entered the All-Star break fatigued after a loss, with a subdued locker-room atmosphere and players eager for the layoff. Gary Payton II left promptly for the break, while coach Steve Kerr emphasized the chance to recharge and the need to integrate Kristaps Porzingis and regain Stephen Curry. Porzingis is recovering from postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and will remain in San Francisco during the break as he works back to game shape. The team acquired Porzingis in a trade that sent Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield to Atlanta. Several core players are veterans whose rest should benefit the team.
