Golden State Warriors News

Kevin Durant sprained his ankle in the fourth quarter of the Warriors’ 110-97 Game 3 victory over the Spurs on Thursday evening. Durant exited with 4:36 remaining, after his ankle turned while trying to recover a lose ball. His limp appeared to be minimal as he left the court.

Kevin Durant had 26 points, nine rebounds and six assists, and the Golden State Warriors beat San Antonio 110-97 on Thursday night for a 3-0 series lead over the Spurs, who were still reeling from the death of Gregg Popovich’s wife, Erin.

The Golden State Warriors have had their (more than) fair share or injuries throughout the 2017-18 season, and it appears their run of bad luck isn’t over.

If you’ve watched pregame coverage of any of the Golden State Warriors’ first round matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, you’ve seen Stephen Curry on the court, shooting, dribbling, running, and generally basketballing on his way back from his sprained right knee.

On Thursday, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, a friend of both Gregg and Erin for many years, reflected on the news, and told a funny story about being traded by Popovich in 2001.

The San Antonio Spurs say Greg Popovich will not coach the team at home Thursday night in Game 3 of their first-round playoff series against Golden State following the death of his wife.

Erin Popovich, the wife of San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, has passed way, the team announced Wednesday evening. Here is an official statement from the Spurs:

JaVale McGee has been listed as questionable for Game 3 against the Spurs on the Warriors’ official injury report released Wednesday afternoon.

Fitz is impressed with the Pelicans’ play against the Blazers, and thinks they may be better off without DeMarcus Cousins.
