No medical updates were given after the game, but it seems almost certain that the 39-year-old center will have to miss at least one game.<\/p>\n<p>Had that been the only injury news for Golden State, it would have been fairly easy to move on. But shortly after Horford left, Seth Curry had to come out of the game with right adductor soreness. Then Quinten Post left with a left ankle sprain.<\/p>\n<p>This is a team that has had to play the majority of the season without its top two scorers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsbayarea.com\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/jimmy-butler-torn-acl-heat\/1908950\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Butler tore his right ACL<\/a> after 38 games, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsbayarea.com\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/steph-curry-injury-update-3\/1923332\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Curry has been nursing a sore knee<\/a> and hasn\u2019t played since Jan. 30.<\/p>\n<p>Draymond Green was a late scratch, too, because of lingering lower back soreness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;re going through it for sure,\u201d\u00a0Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. \u201cBut you saw how hard the guys played and stayed in it and got the fans into it.\u00a0We can&#8217;t ask anything more of our players right now what they&#8217;re giving effort-wise and playing together. But yeah, we&#8217;re about as beaten up as any team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsportsbayarea.com\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/kristaps-porzingis-bright-spot-loss\/1923942\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">there is a silver lining<\/a>, as Kerr pointed out, it\u2019s that the injuries to the front-line guys have opened the door for some of the Warriors&#8217; younger players to get some needed reps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe games are going to keep coming no matter what,\u201d\u00a0Kristaps Porzingis said. \u201cYoung guys\u00a0are going to have more opportunity, which they have to take advantage of.
