Overview
- Stephen Curry (left ankle sprain) and Jimmy Butler (illness) were ruled out, with Draymond Green held for rest on the front end of a back-to-back during a Prime Video broadcast.
- Steve Kerr said Curry “tweaked” the ankle and that sitting him Friday was intended to aid a possible return Saturday against Utah.
- Oklahoma City won 131-94 as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 30 in three quarters and Chet Holmgren grabbed 15 rebounds with four blocks.
- Golden State started Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Will Richard, Gui Santos and Quinten Post, and Jonathan Kuminga was also unavailable with lower back soreness.
- De’Anthony Melton (knee management) and Seth Curry (sciatic irritation) were out, stretching a lengthy injury report that has tested the Warriors’ depth during a crowded January stretch.
