FIRST OF TWO DIRECT VS. SAN ANTONIO
The Warriors will conclude their three-game home streak by hosting the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday (5:30 p.m.). The Dubs and Spurs are likely to be without their best player, as both Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama are dealing with right ankle injuries. Curry suffered his in the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Chicago Bulls and Wembanyama missed Thursday’s game after his diagnosis. According to head coach Gregg Popovich, Wembanyama will aim to return to the lineup on Monday as the Warriors and Spurs will play again in San Antonio.
