After a painful close to their homestand on Friday night, the Golden State Warriors<\/a> will be without nearly all of their veterans to open a road trip in New York on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

The team ruled out Draymond Green<\/a>, Al Horford<\/a>, Kristaps Porzingis<\/a>, Seth Curry<\/a> and De’Anthony Melton<\/a> for their showcase game against the Knicks. Jimmy Butler tore his ACL in January and is out for the season. Stephen Curry<\/a> is missing his 17th straight game with a persistent right knee issue.<\/p>\n

“We’re going through it,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “We’re about as beaten up as any team I can ever remember.”<\/p>\n

In Friday night’s loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>, Horford left after five minutes with a calf strain and Seth Curry hobbled to the locker room with an adductor strain. It is anticipated that both will miss time.<\/p>\n

Green, Porzingis and Melton are listed out with injury management, signaling that the Warriors are opting to rest the veterans on the front side of this upcoming back-to-back against the Knicks. They face a more beatable Washington Wizards<\/a> team on Monday night. Green was scratched with a lower back issue prior to the Minnesota game but it isn’t believed to be serious.<\/p>\n

In response, the Warriors are signing center \u00d6mer Yurtseven to a 10-day contract, sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania. Yurtseven has played 113 career games with the Miami Heat<\/a> and Utah Jazz<\/a>. He joined the G League recently after a stint in the Euroleague and had 36 points and 12 rebounds on Friday night.<\/p>\n

The Warriors have lost four straight games, falling to 32-34 and sinking to the ninth seed in the Western Conference, 8.5 games behind the sixth seed and only a half-game up on the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>. They are beginning a difficult six-game trip that also makes stops in Boston, Detroit, Atlanta and Dallas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After a painful close to their homestand on Friday night, the Golden State Warriors will be without nearly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":536487,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[49,48,459,82],"class_list":["post-536486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=536486"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/536486\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/536487"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=536486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=536486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=536486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
