The Warriors faced the Rockets on Wednesday without a single healthy player that played in last season’s playoff series. But Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who started three rookies for the third consecutive game with his regulars out, said it could benefit the Warriors eventually.
“That’s the plan,” Kerr said. “While we have guys out, we have to try to bring along our young players, help them develop and give them every opportunity to develop into rotation players, maybe even starters. If we can do that, that makes this a successful season or half season, however long it is.
