The Golden State Warriors are facing a significant challenge ahead of Thursday’s back-to-back game against the Houston Rockets, with several key players expected to sit out due to injuries. According to Steve Kerr, coach of the team, veteran stars Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green will be considered day-to-day until further updates.
Kerr expressed frustration with the NBA’s scheduling format, stating that the league “obviously doesn’t care about rest or health, just ratings.” The Warriors are currently sitting at 27-27 after a tough loss to the Dallas Mavericks, and beating the Rockets would be an uphill task without their top players.
The team will have the All-Star break to rest and recover, but it remains to be seen whether they will play their veterans on the second night of a back-to-back. The game is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET at the Toyota Center in Houston, and can be watched online via NBA League Pass or locally through NBC Sports Bay Area and Space City Home Network.
Key injuries include Jonathan Kuminga, who will not play. The Warriors’ situation is precarious, and fans will be watching closely to see how their team responds without Curry, Butler, and Green on Thursday night.
