Anthony Slater: Steve Kerr on D’Angelo Russell’s thumb injury: “I was concerned it would be worse. A couple weeks, we can handle. If this would’ve been anything more severe, we’d be in real trouble.” Ky Bowman will start at point. Draymond Green will play some point.
Golden State Warriors Rumors
Warriors guard D’Angelo Russell, who suffered a sprained right thumb during last night’s game against the Boston Celtics at Chase Center, underwent an MRI last night. The MRI confirmed the sprain. Russell will be re-evaluated in two (2) weeks and will not travel with the team on its upcoming four-game road trip to New Orleans, Memphis, Dallas and Utah.
D'Angelo Russell to miss at least two weeks
Adrian Wojnarowski: Another Golden State All-Star is out: Warriors guard D’Angelo Russell will be re-evaluated with a sprained right thumb in two weeks.
A Toronto Raptors fan who made a vulgar comment on live television about Ayesha Curry, the wife of Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry, has been ordered to stay away from her and the reporter to whom he made the comment.
Tristan Warkentin agreed Friday to a common-law bond that orders him not to associate with Ayesha Curry or CP24 reporter Kelly Linehan. As a result, prosecutors dropped a mischief charge against him.
Former Boston College guard Ky Bowman is not only making the adjustment to the NBA, but also doing it while playing mostly point guard. Bowman was a scoring guard during his three years with the Eagles. He knows he’s not only auditioning for a full-time NBA deal from the Warriors but from the other 29 clubs, since he’ll be a free agent next summer. “A lot of people get caught up in trying to be something different. It’s kind of a mental thing, just establish what you have to do,” he said. “I’m getting an opportunity a lot of people don’t get. Nobody has been able to get the opportunity I got to not having to spend one day in the G League.”
“I definitely try to model my game as much as I can to Steve,” Young said when asked to name his personal top five of all-time point guards. “Obviously I loved watching Steph growing up. Growing up in Oklahoma City, I’ve been a big Russ (Westbrook) fan. Dame Lillard. Probably Kyrie (Irving) – as far as guys where I try to model my game (after them). It’s the little things that they have that I try to add to my game.”
