This season hasn’t gone as planned, and the Warriors have already had to shift expectations. After Sunday, further recalibration could be on the way.
While coach Steve Kerr anticipated the team to take a step back, he did not expect to be sitting at the bottom of the league standings more than a quarter of the way into the season. A stumbling start and the desire to convert Ky Bowman’s two-way contract into a regular roster spot could lead to the Warriors making a trade between now and the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
Bowman could be the primary motivating factor for making a deal.
