1 NBA Team Is Without 6 Key Players On Friday

The Golden State Warriors will play the Indiana Pacers on Friday night, but they will do so without some of their biggest stars.

Anthony Slater of The Athletic is reporting that Stephen Curry (knee) and Draymond Green (back) will be out because of injury.

The Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II.

Do the Warriors have any shot of taking down the Pacers with such a decimated roster?

Curry is obviously the biggest name here as he remains the team’s best player and is averaging 22.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the field and 41.1 percent from the 3-point line.

Green’s absence will also hurt as he is averaging 8.7 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

These are some of the best players on the team, so it’ll be hard for them to overtake the Pacers, although they shouldn’t be completely counted out.

It’s been a tough season for the Warriors, who are ninth in the West with a 19-18 record.

Over the past 10 games, the team is 4-6, and there is a lot of buzz about them making some major moves before the upcoming trade deadline.

But that deadline is still a few weeks away and fans were hoping to see them post a string of victories before that.

Some of the players on this injury list might not be in Golden State for much longer depending on how the front office acts before the deadline.

Following the game against the Pacers, the Warriors will face the Toronto Raptors on Monday.

How many of these players will be back for that game?
