LOS ANGELES — The Warriors have some clarity on their injured players, but it does not involve their stars.
While the Warriors (15-6) list Stephen Curry (right hand contusion) and Kevin Durant (sprained left ankle) still as probable for Wednesday’s game against the Lakers (8-12), the Warriors ruled out veteran reserve forward David West because of a sore left knee.
“We agreed It made sense to give him a night off,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said, “and give it a rest and see how it feels when we get to Orlando” for Friday’s game.
Kerr said West alerted the team about feeling soreness during Monday’s loss to Sacramento, though West said there was not a particular incident that caused him pain.
“It’s just been something lingering the last few games,” West said. “Going to be smart about it.”
Meanwhile, Curry and Durant participated in morning shootaround without any reported issues. Still, both will go through pre-game warmups before the Warriors determine their availability. Curry missed Monday’s game against Sacramento, while Durant has sat out in four of the past contests.
“I feel good,” Durant said. “I’ll see how I feel right before the game.”
