When the Golden State Warriors meet the Los Angeles Lakers for the second time this preseason, Steve Kerr will have the chance to dive deep into the Golden State’s rotation on Sunday night in Los Angeles. In their third preseason contest, the Warriors will be without multiple key players, including veteran leaders Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler.
Al Horford and Moses Moody are also slated to join Butler and Curry on the sideline in Los Angeles on Sunday. According to Kerr, Curry is “banged up” but still slated to play in Golden State’s next preseason contest on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers.
