Celtics Return From All-Star Break to Face Warriors
The Warriors, 29-26 and eighth in the West, rely on Kristaps Porzingis’ scoring versatility as Stephen Curry remains sidelined with knee inflammation.
- On Thursday the Warriors open the regular season's final stretch against the Boston Celtics without Stephen Curry, who misses his sixth consecutive game, while Kristaps Porzingis likely makes his Warriors debut.
- After the trade deadline the Warriors acquired Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks for Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield; he played 17 games this season and hasn’t played since January 7, with limited minutes planned around 15 per game.
- Kerr said Porzingis looked good and will come off the bench after participating fully in Wednesday's scrimmage and saying he feels excellent.
- With playoff positioning at stake the Warriors need wins, and Thursday's game will reveal whether Porzingis can supply scoring while Curry is out.
- Rushing Curry back risks a setback that could cost the Warriors in the playoffs, as he may undergo another MRI after consulting Warriors lead medical decision-maker Rick Celebrini, and rest is deemed necessary.
