After electing to sit every starter except one during Friday’s 120-114 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr came under fire. Andrew Wiggins, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, and Stephen Curry were all out against the Cavaliers, leaving Kevon Looney as the lone starter. However, Dubs supporters will be relieved to see that their injury list for Saturday night’s game against the Brooklyn Nets is much cleaner.
Curry, Green, Thompson, and Wiggins have all been removed from the official injury list ahead of Saturday’s contest. This only means that the Dubs will be healthy — at least for the most part — when they host a Kevin Durant-less Nets side. Andre Iguodala and James Wiseman are still out, though, while Anthony Lamb has been tagged as questionable to play.
Despite their depleted lineup, the Dubs still managed to scrape out a win over the Cavs, who themselves were missing the services of Donovan Mitchell. Jordan Poole led the way with a game-high 32 points, and he will now be expected to resume his role off the bench come Sunday.
As for the Nets, KD is still without a timetable to return as he rehabs a sprain in his right knee. TJ Warren is probable to play with a right knee contusion. Kyrie Irving and the Nets just snapped their four-game losing streak with a win against the Utah Jazz on Friday, and they will want to keep it going against Stephen Curry and Co. on Sunday.
