FIRST OF TWO STRAIGHT VS. SAN ANTONIO
The Warriors will conclude their three-game homestand by hosting the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday (5:30 p.m.). The Dubs and Spurs will both likely be without their best player, as both Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama are dealing with right ankle injuries. Curry suffered his in the fourth quarter of Thursday's loss to the Chicago Bulls and Wembanyama missed Thursday's game after his diagnosis. According to Head Coach Gregg Popovich, Wembanyama will target a return to the lineup on Monday, as the Warriors and Spurs will play again in San Antonio.

Kevon Looney played in 289 consecutive games for the Warriors, including the regular season and playoffs — the fifth-longest streak in franchise history — before not being in the lineup in Thursday's loss to the Bulls. Looney was healthy and available to play in that game too, but wasn't deployed by Head Coach Steve Kerr. Before Thursday, Looney last missed a game in the 2020-21 season and played back-to-back 82-game seasons in 2021-22 and 2022-23.

SAN ANTONIO SCOUTING REPORT
Without Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs will turn to Devin Vassell, who has led the team in scoring in 12 of their last 18 games, including a seven-game streak. Vassell is averaging 23.0 points over that 18-game span, shooting 48.9 percent from the field and 41.0 percent from three. Keldon Johnson could also see an increased role, averaging 15.9 points this season and scoring 22 points in the first meeting against the Warriors. With a 13-50 record, the Spurs are the first team in the Western Conference to be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.
