Stephen Curry will miss at least five more games due to persistent right knee patellofemoral pain syndrome, with re-evaluation in 10 days.
Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis made his Warriors debut against the Celtics, who traded him away for salary cap reasons in the offseason. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Jaylen Brown had 23 points, 15 rebounds and 13 assists for his third triple-double of the season, and the Boston Celtics rolled over a Golden State Warriors team playing without Stephen Curry, 121-110 on Thursday night.
The Warriors with Stephen Curry have hardly put the fear into the eyes of NBA defenses this season. Without the him, they have been the league's least-threatening offensive group and did little to shirk that reputation Saturday against the Western Conference's lowliest team. It required nearly every possession of regulation, but the Warriors made just enough shots to pull out a 104-96 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
