Warriors Say Horford, Seth Curry Expected to Miss at Least Five Games After MRIs

The team prioritizes a cautious timetable to balance health with a tightening playoff race.

Overview

  • Imaging confirmed Al Horford has a minor calf strain and Seth Curry has an abductor strain, with both set for re-evaluation in one week.
  • Steve Kerr said the Warriors will not rush Horford’s return from the calf injury, signaling a stepwise ramp-up rather than an immediate comeback.
  • Horford exited after about five minutes in the loss to Minnesota, prompting rotation changes in the frontcourt.
  • Quinten Post is expected to take on a larger role while Horford sits, with minutes redistributed across the depth chart.
  • Kerr said Draymond Green is expected to play Monday, with Kristaps Porziņģis and De’Anthony Melton also slated to return as Golden State tries to halt a slide to 32-34 and protect play-in positioning.
