Steve Kerr Gives Depressing Quote After 7 Warriors Ruled Out for Rockets Game

The Golden State Warriors have just 10 players active against the Houston Rockets, and three are players signed to two-way contracts.

Seven of their 14 players with standard contracts are out.

Six were ruled out Wednesday, including Stephen Curry (knee), Moses Moody (wrist), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Will Richard (ankle), Seth Curry (sciatica) and Jimmy Butler (season-ending ACL tear).

Gary Payton II was a late add to the out list with an ankle injury.

Before Thursday's game, Steve Kerr gave an honest assessment of the Warriors' injury woes.

"This is probably as beaten up a team as I’ve ever been around in my 12 years with the Warriors," Kerr said.

Warriors Have Major Issues on the Depth Chart

This is the Warriors' depth chart for Thursday's game:

PG: Brandin Podziemski, Pat Spencer
SG: De'Anthony Melton, LJ Cryer
SF: Gui Santos, Nate Williams
PF: Draymond Green, Malevy Leons
C: Al Horford, Quinten Post

Podz, Melton, Santos, Green and Horford are the confirmed starters. They will be supported by three players on two-way contracts in Cryer, Williams and Leons, one player who was on a two-way contract until February in Spencer and a second-year center taken 52nd overall in the 2024 draft.
