Steve Kerr Backs Al Horford Despite Slump in Warriors’ Loss to Kings

Kerr calls the slow start an expected adjustment to a new role following a late arrival to camp.

Overview

  • Golden State lost 121-116 to Sacramento without Stephen Curry, moving to 5-4 on the season.
  • Al Horford finished 0-for-8 from the field and 0-for-7 from three, and he is 5-for-24 from deep through six games.
  • Steve Kerr praised Horford’s shot selection, urged him to keep playing, and said he is confident the shots will fall.
  • Horford is anchoring the second unit after Jonathan Kuminga earned the starting center spot, and he is still settling into the system.
  • Warriors centers combined to shoot 1-for-15 overall and 0-for-10 from three in the defeat.
