Draymond Green just twisted his left ankle early in the third quarter. Suffered a rib contusion (per Warriors) on that first half crash into the bench. He’s getting ankle stretched on bench during timeout, but looks like he’s remaining in the game. Painful night.

Steve Kerr: “One thing I want to make sure of is we start getting the ball to Jimmy (Butler) more down the stretch.”

Kerr has been more agitated about turnovers this season: “They matter more now.”
January 4, 2026 at 6:05 AM
Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler have both been cleared to return tonight vs Jazz. Jonathan Kuminga is upgraded to probable.
January 4, 2026 at 1:34 AM
Jonathan Kuminga is officially out tonight for the Warriors. Listed as lower back soreness. Steve Kerr said plan was to give him a chunk of minutes but he will be inactive.
January 3, 2026 at 1:53 AM
Jonathan Kuminga is now questionable for the Warriors tonight with lower back soreness. Opportunity for minutes available to him tonight with a ton of guys out, but his status vs Thunder also now in doubt.
January 3, 2026 at 1:11 AM
Jimmy Butler is now questionable tonight with an illness. Possible the Warriors won’t have Butler, Steph Curry or Draymond Green vs Thunder. Green out, Curry questionable.
January 2, 2026 at 6:23 PM
Draymond Green is out tomorrow night vs the Thunder. Resting. Steph Curry is questionable with an ankle sprain. De’Anthony Melton questionable. Al Horford and Trayce Jackson-Davis probable.

It’s the front side of a home back-to-back. Warriors face the Jazz on Saturday night.

Seth Curry had an MRI on his lower back/pelvis that confirmed a sciatic nerve issue, per source. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

Jimmy Butler on the Draymond Green and Steve Kerr argument and reconciliation this week

“I like that. Y’all yell at each other. Turned me on a little bit. I’m not gonna lie.”
December 26, 2025 at 1:39 AM
Warriors complete a 3-0 homestand despite turbulence. Seven players in double figures in the Christmas win: Curry, Butler, Podziemski, Horford, Moody, Melton, Jackson-Davis.

They're 16-15, riding a bit of momentum into a Toronto, Brooklyn, Charlotte road trip.
December 26, 2025 at 12:43 AM
The Warriors expect Al Horford to make his return today against the Mavericks, assuming his pregame warmup goes smooth. Kerr did say he will stick with similar rotation and play Quinten Post and Trayce Jackson-Davis at center.
December 25, 2025 at 8:23 PM
Draymond Green leaves the bench after an argument with Steve Kerr and sits the final 20 minutes of a second straight Warriors win.

Steph Curry on the overshadowed postgame vibe: “The questions are a little bit more negative than they should be.”

Steve Kerr said Al Horford has a chance to return for the Christmas game vs the Mavericks. Kerr also said he can bump De’Anthony Melton’s minutes up a few, if needed, but preference remains to keep it around 20 nightly.
December 23, 2025 at 1:22 AM
Steve Kerr called the second Draymond Green technical “weak” and brought up the Dillon Brooks “premeditated” flagrant on Steph Curry the other night

“This is a guy who broke Gary’s elbow in the playoffs clotheslining him on one of the dirtiest plays I’ve ever seen.”
December 21, 2025 at 4:48 AM
Double technical and an ejection for Draymond Green early in the second quarter tonight. Looked like official Pat Fraher gave him the first for an interaction with Collin Gillespie and then Green got upset with Fraher for the technical and got a second for extended argument.
December 21, 2025 at 2:17 AM
Jonathan Kuminga is out tonight against the Suns due to an illness. Warriors already ruled out Al Horford and Seth Curry.
December 20, 2025 at 11:34 PM
Another gut-punch road loss for the Warriors: 99-98 in Phoenix. Rebound foul with 0.4 seconds left gives Suns the game-winning free throw. Twenty more turnovers. They are 4-9 in their last 15 games, 13-15 overall.

In a search for better continuity, Steve Kerr said he will keep the five-man group of Steph Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Quinten Post as the established starting lineup for the foreseeable future (barring injury).

Steve Kerr on the Joe Lacob email leak about his current frustrations (included “coaches desires regarding players”)

“Not a big deal.”

“Imagine if everyone’s emails were posted publicly, how tough that would be to live.”

“Joe supports me. I support him.”
December 16, 2025 at 10:06 PM
The Warriors are sixth in turnovers, 20th in offense, 5-9 in clutch games and just wasted Steph Curry's 87 combined points in two straight losses. They are 13-14.
