The Golden State Warriors eked out a road win over the Detroit Pistons Thursday night in a game where they got 13 points on 5-for-11 shooting from guard Dennis Schroder. Somehow, that was one of his best offensive performances as a Warrior. Is the veteran guard still adjusting to playing alongside Steph Curry, or is there something more insidious in play?
Dennis Schroder is a two-time member of the Los Angeles Lakers, originally joining the club in the wake of their 2020 title via a trade with the Oklahoma City Thunder. After Schroder famously turned down a four-year $84M contract with the team that season, a set of circumstances that led to the Lakers trading for Russell Westbrook, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope winning a title with the Denver Nuggets, and “Westbrick” being recognized as a slur.
