Overview

  • Stephen Curry, Al Horford and Moses Moody are also out for the preseason game, per ESPN’s Anthony Slater.
  • LeBron James will miss roughly three to four weeks with sciatica, leaving the Lakers without their star for the rematch in Los Angeles.
  • Butler practiced Friday and was slated to practice Saturday, reinforcing that his status is not tied to a significant injury.
  • With several veterans sidelined, Golden State is expected to lean on depth pieces such as Jonathan Kuminga and rookie Will Richard for extended minutes.
  • Butler played 15 minutes in the preseason opener versus the Lakers and could return as soon as Tuesday’s game in Portland, according to team-focused reporting.
