Will The Warriors Be Healthy For The Start Of The Playoffs?

This is a key question that can be brought up with various teams across the NBA right now, but injuries have hit the Golden State Warriors very hard to last several years, as mentioned before. 

Klay Thompson is still trying to get his legs under him since returning in January for the first time since the 2019 NBA Finals, Draymond Green is just a few games back from a back/calf injury that kept him out nearly two months this season, Andre Iguodala has not played since early-February with a knee issue and Stephen Curry is now out with a ligament sprain in his left foot. 

The Warriors’ depth has been challenged time and time again and while they have answered, this team’s championship aspirations depend on if their core veterans and All-Stars are healthy. 

Andre Iguodala is 38-years-old now and not the same player he used to be, but his understanding for the game and defensive tenacity will prove very useful for this team in the playoffs, especially given his chemistry with the other core members of this roster.

Stephen Curry’s importance to this team goes without saying and the same can be said for Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. 

Getting everyone healthy is going to be the difference for the Warriors in the postseason, especially since they are more than likely going to be the 3-seed with the Grizzlies holding a 2.5 game lead on them for the 2-seed late in the season. 

Golden State’s path to the NBA Finals is not going to be easy, especially with them potentially having to run into the Memphis Grizzlies and the Phoenix Suns, the two best teams record-wise in the NBA.

Being at full-strength obviously gives the Warriors their best chance to advance far in the playoffs, but injuries have held them back before and the Warriors have yet to be at 100% health all year long.
