Steph Curry warming up in some Nikes tonight in San Antonio

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

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.”

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.

Jonathan Kuminga exited the game in San Antonio after this fall

Jalen Williams getting shots up pregame in Oklahoma City with that recovering right wrist. Team announced he had a screw removed from it 11 days ago because of irritation in late stages of his rehab.

Andre Iguodala arrives to his Warriors jersey retirement. Ceremony postgame. They are unveiling a medallion outside arena right now. Here’s Iguodala greeting Rick Barry and Mo Speights on his way to podium.

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.”

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.”

Jimmy Butler on new Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg: “I know that guy be speaking his mind. I like that.” “He plays tough. He is tough. I bet he plays dominos, too. I’m gonna have to crack his head in that.” Full soundbite

Jimmy Butler gives an update on his ACL rehab. Said he believes he is a month and a half from running. Believes he’s able to dunk jumping off his left foot but isn’t supposed to land on right foot. “We’ve been making some incredible progress.”

Mike Dunleavy on the Jonathan Kuminga trade demand: “I’m aware of that. In terms of demands, when you make a demand there needs to be demand.”

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: “It was a failure. I failed at my goal. I didn't achieve what I wanted to achieve. But through those experiences, I learn the most about myself and make the greatest amount of increases in my career when I fail."

Steve Kerr called the arena atmosphere in Minneapolis today one of the most “bizarre, sad” vibes he’s experienced at a game Warriors blew out the Timberwolves. “Honestly what I felt was that their group was suffering.”

Here’s the friendly postgame scene between the Nuggets and Timberwolves beginning with Jokic and McDaniels

Jaden McDaniels on the late layup that incited a skirmish: “Clock still be running. So I’m going to go score.” Did Nikola Jokic say anything to him? “I don’t know what he said, to be honest. I just seen someone who was big as hell.”

Anthony Edwards on Steph Curry: “That’s my boy. Love Steph.” “To me, greatest point guard.” “He actually don’t know a lot of rap music. That’s the best thing I learned about him.”

Nikola Jokic on SGA tying Wilt with 126 consecutive 20-point games “I don’t know that people know how hard it is to do that. To make 20 pointsin 10 (straight) games, not 120 whatever it is, it’s special. He’s a special player.”

The Timberwolves felt "at least four" of Victor Wembanyama's 12 blocks were goaltends. Chris Finch: "You know the value of eight points in an NBA game? That's 33 percent of his blocks." Rudy Gobert joked: "I want that type of treatment, too."

Moses Moody spoke to reporters last night about his patella injury -He said type of tear was best-case scenario: “Straight from the bone.” -His knee has been bothering him since high school and “it’s all been patella tendon, so I’m glad to get it fixed.” Full sound

Draymond Green lights into Grant Williams after that late-game scuffle “This tough guy (act) is going absolutely wrong for him. He’s a nice guy.” “Talking too much is kinda what got you out of Dallas” “Pray for Grant Williams”

Steve Kerr on Andrew Wiggins: “Just had a baby boy last week. Girls in school. Wiggs is one of my favorite players I’ve ever coached. Just a wonderful soul. We don’t hang that banner in ‘22 without him…I’m gonna miss him.”

Klay Thompson said it’s hard to not close: “Yeah, you kidding me? To go from one of the best players…It’s hard for anybody.” Klay credited the young guys. Draymond from off camera (to reporters): “I didn’t close Game 5 of the Finals. Who the f*** cares?”

Jimmy Butler on the 10-10 Warriors: “We don’t box out. We don’t go with the scouting report. We let anybody do whatever they want - open shots, get into the paint, free throws. It’s just sad.”
