Monday was such a promising day for the health of the Golden State Warriors. Draymond Green was back after months of rehabbing his back. Klay Thompson was back from illness and starting his fourth game in a row., and sixth in seven games. Otto Porter Junior’s back was feeling better, and Andre Iguodala was presumably sleeping in a hyberbaric chamber and getting his plasma replaced by Joe Lacob’s blood boys. Andrew Wiggins was sick, but it wasn’t COVID-19, and he probably wouldn’t spread the illness to Nemanja Bjelica, right?
But then Marcus Smart dove at Steph Curry’s legs and sent him out indefinitely, Moses Moody got his shoulder partially dislocated, and James Wiseman discovered swelling in his surgically-repaired knee.
