Warriors vs Clippers: Injury-Riddled Warriors Face Playoff Battle

0:00with the NBA today. March 2nd. The Golden State Warriors faced the Los Angeles Clippers tonight at Chase Center without Steven Curry for his 11th straight game. He's dealing with Runner's knee and won't be re-evaluated for nine days, so expect him to miss at least the next five matchups. Meanwhile, the Warriors are banged up elsewhere too. They're missing a few key players due to illness, ankle issues, and sciatica, while Gary Payton remains questionable with his own ankle problem after. A strong scoring stretch lately. On the Clipper side, things look healthier overall. With most of their roster available, despite a couple of outs for next stiffness and season ending, hip surgery. That gives them an edge heading into this one. With the injuries piling up, Warriors coach Steve Curry might lean on two-way contract guys like Malevi Leon's and Nate Williams, who showed promise in. Recent G-League gains with solid scoring lines. The team's depth is stretched thin, especially at small forward. This matchup carries big weight in the Western Conference play in race, where the Warriors hold a two-and-a-half

1:02game lead over the Clippers 4, eighth place at 31 wins and 29 losses. A win helps the season series tiebreaker too, as both teams wrap up their series on the regular season's final day. This story is made possible by our sponsor. See the episode
