Steph Curry changes stance on Play-In after Warriors sneak in again
The Golden State Warriors have benefited from the NBA Play-In Tournament, making appearances in four of six seasons since it was fully implemented.
Apart from the COVID-shortened 2019-2020 season, the Golden State Warriors put together their worst record since the 2011-12 lockout season (23-43) after being decimated by injuries throughout the year. Following their regular season finale against the Los Angeles Clippers, Stephen Curry spoke to the media, addressing his thoughts on the Play-In Tournament. “Grateful for it now because you have one game and hopefully another to keep your season alive,” said Curry after realizing that Golden State has made the tournament twice as a 10 seed.
Since the implementation of the Play-In Tournament permanently (2020-21), the Warriors have found themselves in that spot in four out of six seasons. Curry went on to say: "This is such a unique year just because of the way it's gone. It's not like we've underperformed; we've just been hit with so many injuries that your expectation had to shift because of availability.
" With the majority of their main contributors healthy (excluding Jimmy Butler III), Golden State will have a chance to prove themselves Wednesday in an elimination game. This article originally appeared on Warriors Wire: Steph Curry changes stance on Play-In after Warriors sneak in again
