Warriors' Injury Woes Derail Playoff Hopes

The Golden State Warriors are stuck in a tough spot this season, hovering just above 500 and dealing with a wave of injuries that have them. Far from playoff contention, Stargarde Stephen Curry had hoped for meaningful games after last year's push, but right now their play feels pointless as one analyst pointed out. Last season, Curry voiced his desire for high stakes basketball, and the team responded by trading for Jimmy Butler, which sparked a short playoff run. Before injuries hit, this year though, Butler suffered an ACL tear. Curry has missed plenty of time with nagging issues, and new addition Christap's porzingis has only played one game after coming over from the Atlanta Hawks. Fans and players are growing frustrated with the constant setbacks, especially on an aging roster that everyone knew could be injury prone. A viral clip showed Dremon Greene chewing out the team during a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, highlighting the boiling tensions.

The slim hope is that the Warriors get healthy enough for some late momentum, but for now, it all seems like the exact opposite of what Curry wanted. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor.
