Steph Curry’s Injury Puts the Warriors’ Depth to the Test

Steph Curry’s injury means everything for the Warriors, who are now without their two best offensive players in Curry and Jimmy Butler.

Rookie Yaxel Lindenberg has been fantastic, scoring more than 20 points per game. It is still hard to understand why Dusty May left and took Morris Johnson over Lindenberg with the No. 9 or No. 10 pick. Imagining Lindenberg alongside Cooper Flagg in Dallas would be something else.

The Warriors will now have to lean on players like Lindenberg. Draymond will need to provide more scoring, while Paczyski, who talks about having big games, will have to back it up.

Golden State is already playing above its weight. With the Western Conference standings so crowded, the Warriors could fall out of the top six by the time Curry returns.
