Warrior Wonder
The previous game’s Warrior Wonder (Jonathan Kuminga) is not eligible for the following game.
On to the next one…
Emerman, SF Standard, says GSW has told Butler that they will not trade him. They say they will welcome him back next year as a shot in the arm and his ground-bound game game should age okay post-recovery.

Me: This is pretty expected news. Butler’s contract is quite a negative value and only useful for salary ballast for a mega deal.
Slater: [[ NBA Today segment on the Warriors from Minnesota. Team had to move up flight to escape impending winter weather in Dallas. Four days, two games coming vs Timberwolves in Minneapolis where it is -8 right now. ]]
Also: team is emotionally reeling, look to recover from Butler loss and then JK loss
Also: JK knee issue not structural, probably short term.
