OAKLAND–The Warriors started Friday night’s game without Draymond Green, Kevin Durant and Andre Igoudala.
And early in the second quarter, one of the team’s key reserves was forced to the locker room with what appeared to be an ankle injury.
With 10:38 remaining in the second, 6-foot-9 forward Omri Casspi appeared to roll his ankle after boxing out a Sacramento Kings’ player in the key. After coming off the floor, Casspi went to the locker room for further evaluation from Golden State’s training staff.
Casspi played five minutes in Friday evening’s preseason finale and scored two points on one field goal attempt. The free agent acquisition also added an assist, but he finished with a plus-minus of minus-nine while he was on the floor.
As for the other injured Warriors, Green and Igoudala didn’t suit up on Friday night due to back strains, while Durant missed the contest simply because he was ill.
