The Golden State Warriors are 21 games away from beginning what could be their fifth straight NBA Finals run. A historic stretch for the Warriors could be ruined if injuries take their toll on the roster.
Per the San Francisco Chronicle’s Connor Letourneau, the Warriors’ record-setting head coach won’t allow his team to be overworked in order to claim the West’s No. 1 seed. He’s prioritizing the health of his players to end the season.
“We’d like to win it,” Golden State head coach Steve Kerr said of the Western Conference’s No. 1 seed.
