Warriors Will Look to "Add A Few Guys" in Free Agency
Warriors Will Look to "Add A Few Guys" in Free Agency

The speculation and anticipation around the July 29 NBA Draft can now be put to rest – Golden State kept its No. 7 and No. 14 picks, selecting forward Jonathan Kuminga of the G League Ignite and guard Moses Moody from Arkansas, respectively.

Saturday’s double-technical crunch-time collapse didn’t just come from Golden State’s veteran leader Draymond Green – it came from the only player on the Warriors’ roster that has logged minutes in multiple seasons at the center spot.

Centers Kevon Looney and James Wiseman have one combined appearance in the month of February, with the former nursing a left ankle sprain and the latter missing time with a wrist injury.

All eyes were tuned into Thursday night’s TNT primetime matchup at Chase Center. Not because it was a rematch of the 2019 NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors. Viewers were tuned in for one reason and one reason only: Stephen Curry, number 30, the two-time MVP and three-time NBA champion, was back in action.
