Last night, the Golden State Warriors lost heartbreakingly to the New Orleans Pelicans, 109-114. Their record dropped to 45-36, which matched them for the 10th seed with the Sacramento Kings. When Golden Boy Stephen Curry twisted his ankle in the final moments of yesterday’s game, Dub Nation’s hearts also missed a beat.
The outcome of the Warriors’ season against the Utah Jazz on Sunday matters. The most recent injury report from the Warriors indicates that Stephen Curry’s availability for tomorrow’s match is uncertain. He may miss the game versus Utah since he is still dealing with the consequences of his ankle sprain.
Given that many other stars, including Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Chris Paul, and Jonathan Kuminga, are doubtful to play in the season finale, the Warriors might be in serious trouble. Gary Payton II will miss his third consecutive game due to a calf ailment. The murky situation surrounding the Warriors’ big weapons might seriously jeopardize Golden State’s season.
If they win tomorrow, they have an opportunity to get to the eighth or ninth seed. Stephen Curry and company’s main goal is to secure the eighth seed so that they have two opportunities to make the playoffs. But to do that, the Kings would have to lose to the Trail Blazers, and the Lakers would have to lose to the Pelicans.
