Overview
- Following Friday's ugly loss to the Kings, Stephen Curry said his right ankle felt fine and that his previously injured right knee felt good.
- Curry logged 27 minutes with 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting as he continues a monitored return after missing 27 games with a right-knee issue.
- Head coach Steve Kerr said the Warriors are not where they need to be and pointed to repeated defensive breakdowns and an offense out of rhythm.
- Kerr plans to play Curry and the main rotation Sunday against the Clippers to sharpen timing, with an emphasis on rhythm over revealing strategy.
- Golden State is locked into the 10th seed and must win two Play-In games to reach the playoffs, which puts urgent pressure on rapid improvement.
