The Golden State Warriors will finally begin their quest to three-peat on Tuesday night, but it won’t be quite the game that some were anticipating. The Warriors will raise their banners at Oracle Arena before kicking off the season against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but the Thunder will likely be compromised.
Russell Westbrook - a seven-time All-Star and the 2017 NBA MVP - is currently listed as out for the Thunder.
Always subject to change and likely a much firmer update will come tomorrow after shootaround, but Russell Westbrook is listed as out against the Warriors in the game notes.
