SAN FRANCISCO -- One day after Omari Spellman expressed a desire to play more minutes, Warriors coach Steve Kerr offered a response that should please the second-year big man.
He agreed.
“Omari has absolutely earned more minutes,” Kerr said Sunday after practice. “He played great last night. Played well for us early in the season before things went against him.”
On Saturday night, when not many Warriors played well, Spellman did. He scored 23 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. He also grabbed five rebounds and had four steals in a 111-104 loss to the Pistons at Chase Center.
