QUOTES/NOTES/TOPICS:
• Warriors coach Steve Kerr singled out Steph Curry, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins as likely playing in mid-30 minute range. Less playing time for Klay Thompson and Draymond Green: “I think a few of them are more ready than others. Steph, Jordan or Wiggs are capable of getting to 30 (minutes) or beyond…We’re going to play a lot of guys this season anyways.” (Mark Medina, 95.7 The Game)
• Kerr said he's "not sure yet" if Patrick Baldwin Jr will be able to play tonight with his thumb injury. Kerr said PBJ is practicing right now. He's listed as questionable on the latest injury report. (95.7 The Game, CJ Holmes)
• On tonight's rotation: “We could see 11 (players) tonight. For sure 10.” (Alex Espinoza)
• Kerr: “I’ve never had a bad ring night. I can tell you that. they’re all awesome.” (Dalton Johnson, KNBR)
• On the 2022 championship: “I really do feel like we won not in spite of the previous two years, but because of the previous two years.” (Alex Espinoza)
• Kerr says back when he was drafted he was just trying to make the team in Phoenix. He says his journey to so 9 rings has been far-fetched and unlikely. Ahead of another ring ceremony, Kerr says some days it feels like a dream he’s going to wake up from: “When I was drafted back in ‘88 I was just hoping to make a team, maybe make the league for a couple of years.” Called his journey “far-fetched & unlikely…incredibly fortuitous in terms of the people that have affected me in the game.” (Kylen Mills, Kerith Burke)
• Kerr’s message to Andrew Wiggins: “I told him if he can rebound like that in the playoffs, he can rebound like that in the season.” (Dalton Johnson)
• Kerr says we'll “probably” see Wiseman and Kuminga on the court together tonight. Said he didn't think entering the season that they could be played together, but preseason/camp changed his mind. (Brady Klopfer)
