Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler managing injuries as Warriors enter play-in tournament
Briefly

The Warriors face a tight schedule with only one day off before their vital play-in game against the Grizzlies after a tough overtime loss to the Clippers. Key players like Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green, all in their 30s, are dealing with fatigue and injuries. Butler limped late in the game, Curry manages a sore thumb but remains effective, and Green showed resilience after a brief injury scare. Coach Kerr remains confident in their abilities to recover quickly, ensuring light preparation before the next game.
If Curry was bothered much by his ailing thumb, it certainly did not look like it. I'm not worried about Steph, Kerr said.
Butler, who scored 30 points, was seen limping late in the game after Kawhi Leonard kneed him in the left thigh.
Curry is still nursing a sore thumb after injuring it in the first quarter of Friday's game against Portland, but told media postgame that it is improving.
Green will not have any problems with the short turnaround between games. We'll be fine, Green said.
