Join us for live news and analysis from the Warriors’ preseason opener Saturday at 5:30 p.m. when Golden State takes on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Oracle.
While fans will get their first look at Warriors’ top pick Jacob Evans from Cincinnati, it will be some time before they witness All-Star free-agent signing DeMarcus Cousins’ Golden State debut. Cousins is ramping up his rehabilitation process from Achilles tendon surgery but won’t see action for months.
Third-year center Damian Jones will get the start Saturday night as coach Steve Kerr begins auditions to fill their starting center spot while Cousins is out.
