The Golden State Warriors have been one of the NBA’s best dynasties over the last several years, but they have hit a bump in the road the last few seasons.
Looking to capture their fourth title in five seasons in 2019, the Warriors fell short of beating the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals after Kevin Durant suffered a torn right Achilles tendon and Klay Thompson suffered a torn left ACL.
This was just the start of the Warriors’ injuries, as Stephen Curry then suffered a hand injury that forced him to miss almost the entire 2019-20 season, followed by multiple injuries stacking up once again for the Warriors during the 2020-21 season.
This season, Golden State started the year without Klay Thompson and James Wiseman, but they won 30 of their first 40 games and finally looked like they had the depth they needed to get back to competing for a spot in the NBA Finals.
