Warriors Dealt Bad News After 4 Straight Losses

Draymond Green will not play against the Knicks due to a back injury, missing his second straight game. Kristaps Prozingis, De’Anthony Melton and Moses Moody are out of action as well. Steph Curry is still dealing with a lingering knee injury and is not yet ready to return.

Two other players are now set to miss time for the Warriors. The team announced on Sunday that Al Horford and Seth Curry both underwent MRIs for their respective injuries. It has now been determined that Horford and Curry will be sidelined for at least one week.

Horford has been relatively healthy for the Warriors of late. While he has sat out all of their back-to-backs this season, the 39-year-old has been a steady contributor for the team. Horford is averaging 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.7 triples in 21.7 minutes per contest.

Horford tweaked his calf against the Wolves on Friday. He played just five minutes before being ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The five-time All-Star was diagnosed with a mild left calf strain. He will be evaluated in a week.

Curry, on the other hand, just returned from a lengthy injury absence. The 6-foot-1 guard is now dealing with a left adductor strain. He, too, is out for at least one week.

Horford and Curry will miss at least four games. Horford figures to be the bigger loss for head coach Steve Kerr. To address their frontcourt issues, the Warriors signed center Omer Yurtseven on a 10-day deal. The 6-foot-11 center is expected to make his debut on Sunday against New York.
