There haven’t been many negative stories about the Golden State Warriors over the last few months. That’s the treatment you earn when you win an NBA championship.
One of the few negative storylines has been the health of the team’s rookies. Warriors fans were excited to see first-round pick Patrick Baldwin Jr. and second-round pick Ryan Rollins at the Las Vegas Summer League, but neither youngster played.
Rollins was dealing with a stress fracture in his right foot. And Baldwin was dealing with something a bit more worrying: an ankle issue from an injury sustained in high school, which had limited him to just 11 games in his first and only season of college basketball.
