On February 2, Beijing time, according to Warriors reporter Anthony Slater, considering that it is a back-to-back second game, Curry will miss today's away game against the Spurs. Also missing this game were Thompson, Iguodala, Green, Wiggins, Porter, Bjelica and Wiseman. The Warriors put 8 players on the suspension list in one go, and it's no wonder that some fans ridiculed the head coach: Kerr tried to end the Warriors' winning streak.
After beating the Rockets on the road, the Warriors have gone on a six-game winning streak. They beat the Rockets, Jazz, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Nets and Rockets in this winning streak. After playing the Spurs on the road, the Warriors will fly back home to meet the Kings, followed by two consecutive away games against the Thunder and Jazz.
In the last game against the Rockets, Curry ushered in an outbreak, bombarded 40 points and 9 assists, and scored 21 points in the final quarter, which was also the 37th time in his career to score 20+ in the final quarter, surpassing Kobe Bryant to dominate the history of the first. Curry played nearly 38 minutes in that game, he was still injured, and it was normal for Cole to give him a break. Thompson played back-to-back games, and Cole continued that use.
On the official list of injuries, the Warriors also listed everyone's reasons for injury suspension. Curry's left toe ached, Thompson's right Achilles tendon injury management, Green's lumbar spine injury rehabilitation, Iguodala's left hip injury management, Porter's left foot injury management, Bjelica back spasm, Wiggins left knee aches, Wiseman right knee injury management. Warriors officials said Green's review showed a good recovery and would be evaluated again before All-Star Weekend.
In the Warriors' starting lineup, only Looney has no rotation, and so far this season, only he has not missed a game, which is called Iron Man. Warriors reporter Burke praised Looney for full attendance: "Listen... When will Looney get some rest? He played every game this season! (Happy he's staying healthy this season). So far this season, Looney has performed well, playing in all 51 games before, averaging 6.1 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, and many times, his role is not reflected by the data.
