Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins among host of Warriors sitting vs. Spurs
The Golden State Warriors will try to pick up their seventh straight win for a third time this season when they face the San Antonio Spurs on the road on Tuesday night. In order to do so, they'll have to rely on a "skeleton crew" of players.
Wiseman hasn't played yet this season, and there is no exact timetable for his return. Green has been out since early January with a calf injury and Iguodala has been limited to 25 games this season and hasn't suited up since Jan. 20. Tuesday will be Bjelica's third consecutive absence due to back troubles and Porter is listed on the injury report due to rest for the second straight game.
Thompson made his long-awaited return to the Dubs on Jan. 9 after a 941-day absence, and the team is taking things cautiously with the five-time All-Star. The matchup with the Spurs will be the fourth missed game for Thompson in 14 contests since his return to the court.
Curry and Wiggins -- both recently named Western Conference All-Star starters -- have both played in 47 of the team's first 51 games. They are the top-two scorers for Golden State at 26.0 and 18.3 points per game respectively.
The Warriors are currently 38-13 and sit three games behind the Phoenix Suns for the best record in the West.
