The Golden State Warriors currently sit eighth in the West with a 17-16 record, so if the season ended today, they'd face either the No. 1 Thunder or No. 2 Spurs in the first round, but only if they made it past the play-in tournament. What could be worse than that? Well, playing the Nuggets in the play-in, which is now a possibility after Nikola Jokiu0107 hyperextended his knee on Monday.
Luckily, Jokiu0107 avoided a serious injury and will be re-evaluated in four weeks. Denver sits third in the West, three games back from No. 7 Phoenix.
