Is Yaxel Lendeborg looking forward to the Lakers game on Friday? “Absolutely. Absolutely. Yes, I am. I’ll talk about that on Friday.”

Yaxel Lendeborg still listed as questionable with foot inflammation tonight vs Timberwolves but he’s on the court after shootaround in Minnesota going through a normal routine

Steph Curry warming up in some Nikes tonight in San Antonio

Really bad sight for the Kings. Second-year center Maxime Raynaud just had to be led off in a wheelchair after appearing to injure his right knee setting a screen. In some serious pain. Sacramento GM Scott Perry follows him to the locker room.

Jimmy Butler can’t put weight on his right knee. Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga helping him to the locker room after a concerning scene in Chase Center.

This Sacramento crowd is already full and lit up more than 20 minutes before tip. Here they are welcoming the Kings out of the tunnel.

Anthony Edwards appeared to take a knee-to-knee shot on that Cam Johnson drive to his left knee. Needed help to get to the locker room.

Anthony Edwards on the confrontation: “Competition at the highest level. We want to win. Finchy want to win. Tony Brothers is Tony Brothers. We all love him.”

Jimmy Butler: “I hate to give Buddy a compliment, so I’m not going to. But #7 on our team really brought the defensive mentality tonight and made some open shots.”

Nikola Jokic on Nuggets coach David Adelman: “It’s not his fault we couldn’t rebound. It’s not his fault we couldn’t catch the ball very well. There is nothing to blame David Adelman. It’s all us.”

Kristaps Porzingis said he’s “back at it” tomorrow vs Celtics. Team listing him as questionable so he didn’t want to say for certain, but it’s clear he plans to make his Warriors debut. “Feeling good. Ready to go.”

Jonathan Kuminga told me the aspect of the no-call that set him off (and led to his first career ejection) was the trip/clip of his right ankle from behind. Same ankle he badly injured last season. Gave him a concerning flashback. Was hurting a bit postgame but said he's fine.

Jimmy Butler when asked if he’s playing in Miami tomorrow night: “Who knows? We’ll see how we feel when we wake up.” On his fourth quarter jostling with Jalen Suggs: “Y’all done?”

An animated Steve Kerr on the sidelines tonight. Warriors left Keyonte George (15 first quarter points) wide open on the weak side. Kerr (top right of screen) was already walking onto court to call timeout before it went in and started ripping into his players.

Two factors of note on defensive stop to send it to OT. Jimmy Butler nudges Kuminga out to stick on Aaron Gordon. Then Kuminga flies in to tap away possible Jokic putback. Kuminga earning closing responsibilities in jumbo lineup tonight.

Klay Thompson arrives at Chase Center to a line of 400 employees in captain hats

Jonathan Kuminga exited the game in San Antonio after this fall

Luka Doncic helped get a courtside fan removed tonight after he fired the ball at an official. Luka postgame: "He just tossed it really strong -- the ball -- toward the ref. I just asked him what the hell he's doing." Here is the soundbite/sequence/removal.

Jimmy Butler was particularly lively on the Warriors sideline tonight during win over the Heat. Georges Niang: “I wonder why.” “Do you want to see your ex do better than she was with you? Not really.”

Draymond Green raves about Georges Niang: “What an addition.” “Can’t keep him off the floor.” He likes the attitude Niang has injected. Green has already broken up two Niang arguments with opponents (Collin Sexton and Bobby Portis).

Draymond Green on Yaxel Lendeborg going at Luka Doncic: “Everyone will say the rookie learned his lesson. What he learn? The next time he see him, go at his ass again.” Full soundbite

Yaxel Lendeborg on his early conversations with Steve Kerr: “He doesn’t normally play rookies as much. He has a history of that. But the way the team is looking right now, I’m going to have a really good chance to play, maybe even start.”

Yaxel Lendeborg on his seven turnovers: “I played hella soft today. Draymond told me that as well.” He said Draymond instructed him to drive through their chest later in game Full Yaxel sound

Yaxel Lendeborg’s lesson from his sixth NBA game: “Try not to wet the bed as bad as I did.” “I’m a big dweller on bad games.” “Them boys had my back today. Steph Curry did his thing.” Full Yaxel postgame sound

Steve Kerr on Yaxel Lendeborg’s 37-point night: “He’s playing this way and he really doesn’t know the NBA game yet…He’s going to get a lot better.”

Steph Curry on the Kristaps Porzingis unknown: “It’s a hard one for all reasons. Personally, first and foremost. Then us as a team…We always said availability was a big factor for our team. It’s no secret that (center) spot was an important one for us.”

Darius Acuff on his relationship with the Kings veterans: “It’s great, man. They’re there for me every game, every practice, giving me advice good or bad.” On his shot attempts: “I’m not worried about what the media says. I’m just out here hooping, getting better for my team.”

This was the first Steph Curry 40-point night with Yaxel Lendeborg as a teammate: “I’m just watching like, man, this guy is good as hell.”

Steve Kerr on Yaxel Lendeborg’s seven turnovers in a win “I’m almost glad this happened. He feels terrible in there. He’s not happy. And yet he had 26 points and eight boards. It’s a great lesson for him.”

Jimmy Butler on his knee rehab: “My (testing) numbers are staggering, they’re off the charts. I’m ahead, so they say.”

Nikola Jokic: “We just lost in the first round. I think we are far away.” Changes needed? “That’s not my decision. Definitely, if we were in Serbia, we would all be fired.”

Steve Kerr on Yaxel Lendeborg guarding Luka Doncic in his debut: “He had three fouls that probably wouldn’t be fouls in any other league in the world. But it’s the NBA. He’s gotta learn this stuff.” Kerr didn’t like the technical on Yaxel and not Luka also: “Kind of ridiculous.”

Yaxel Lendeborg was chasing 40 points late and it let the Clippers back into it briefly. He said he fell into peer pressure. It was his lesson of the night: "I've never been a stat chaser...I'm a guy that loves ethical hoops." Full Yaxel + Steve Kerr soundbite

Steve Kerr on Yaxel Lendeborg’s 31-12-6 in Denver “In all the critical spots, we put the ball In his hands. For a rookie to be that advanced already is extremely rare.” “He’s going to be a guy who closes games.”

Jaden McDaniels on Victor Wembanyama: “He’s eight feet tall. He contests everything. He’s just good at his job.” “When I see myself on film next to him, he look tall as hell.”

Nuggets coach David Adelman on Jaden McDaniels calling the Nuggets defenders out by name “I can’t wait for his podcast.” “It’ll help his social media.” “What’s our defensive rating in this series?” 109 “How is that?” Sixth best in the playoffs “Ok. Next.”
