On December 25, Beijing time, the Warriors announced the list of injuries against the Suns tomorrow, and Moody became the fourth player in the Warriors to trigger a health and safety agreement. So far this season, the No. 14 show has played 22 games, averaging just 6.5 minutes per game, contributing 1.8 points, 0.9 rebounds and 0.3 assists. Wiggins, Poole and Damien Lee have all triggered the deal, and they, like Moody, will not be able to win the year-end war.
Warriors reporters said that the four players who were absent were all on the flanks, which meant that the Warriors were short of major generals in this position in the year-end war. Veteran Iguodala missed last game due to a swollen knee, and in the year-end battle he was in a questable (playing in doubt, maybe 50% on the pitch).
The absence of multiple Warriors players also means that Curry's offensive task is still very heavy. Against the Grizzlies, Curry scored 46 points, and in the year-end game, he will face his old rival, the Suns. Having played against the Suns twice this season, Curry scored 12 points once and 23 points on the other, both below the season average.
In addition, this year-end war is also another test for Curry. In the first eight year-end battles of his career, Curry averaged only 13.1 points per game, the lowest score per game in any day he played at least five games. Curry admits that he doesn't like the year-end war because he always can't play the day's game, but he's also confident of correcting it this year. Curry has scored at least 30 points in the past 3 games, can he win this year's year-end battle with such a good state? Let's wait and see.
