Golden State Warriors: 43-20, 2nd Place in Western Conference
QUESTION: “When will the Warriors be 100% healthy?”
Staying healthy has been a problem for the Golden State Warriors ever since the 2018-19 season, a year that ended in an NBA Finals loss to the Toronto Raptors due to DeMarcus Cousins, Kevin Durant and Klay Thomspon all getting injured.
The following year, the Warriors had one of their worst seasons in franchise history after Stephen Curry and Draymond Green missed large chunks of the year due to injuries and then the Warriors came up short of making the playoffs last year because of players being in and out due to different ailments.
This year though, the Warriors added a lot more depth to their roster and for once, they are nearing 100% team health. However, Klay Thompson is still working his way back to full-speed, Draymond Green has been out since Jan. 9, Andre Iguodala is dealing with knee soreness and James Wiseman has yet to play this season, so when should we expect the Warriors back at 100%?
The Warriors are expecting to have those who are currently out due to injuries ready to go by the playoffs and there is a level of optimism that the Warriors could have Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala and James Wiseman all available by the end of March, a source close to the Warriors told NBA Analysis Network.

Stephen Curry can only do so much for the Warriors on the scoring-end of things, which is why it is important for Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and most importantly, Draymond Green to be ready-to-go for the playoffs.
Golden State has a really strong chance of making the NBA Finals this season, but health could be the one thing that stands in the way for them come time for the postseason.
