Warriors 'hopeful' for Curry and Porzingis return Friday vs. Kings
After missing Thursday's game due to injury management, Stephen Curry could return to the lineup in addition key frontcourt contributors.
Locked in to the 10th and final Play-In Tournament spot, the Golden State Warriors are trying to gain momentum ahead of a postseason run. That said, an inconsistent lineup due to injuries has caused the Warriors to lose five of their last six games, including Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, with a matchup scheduled against the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back Friday, the Warriors could get some reinforcements.
According to NBA insider Anthony Slater, Golden State is 'hopeful' that the trio of Stephen Curry, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford will suit up for Friday's game. Curry was sidelined Thursday due to injury management after a brief two-game return. Porzingis has missed the last two contests for Golden State with an illness.
As for Horford, he's missed nearly a month due to a calf strain, having last suited up March 13. Assuming the trio can stay healthy, it would give the Warriors two games of preparation together before Wednesday's elimination showdown.
