Overview

  • The Golden State Warriors' playoff prospects have taken a hit after losing to the San Antonio Spurs and the Chicago Bulls, dropping them to the 10th seed.
  • Despite Steph Curry's absence due to an ankle injury, the Warriors were expected to win against the 14-50 Spurs but faced a 126-113 defeat.
  • The Western Conference's depth is making the Warriors' playoff push challenging, with their playoff probability only modestly increasing from 48.6% to 58.9% since the All-Star break.
  • Injuries to key players, including Curry's ankle sprain, are complicating the team's efforts to secure a higher seed before the playoffs.
  • The Warriors have a chance to bounce back in their upcoming games, but Curry's availability remains uncertain, adding pressure to the team's playoff ambitions.
