Eight Warriors, including known Knicks tormenter Steph Curry, were ruled out before the Warriors played at Madison Square Garden

NEW YORK CITY – Fans in New York are accustomed to one-of-a-kind brilliance from Steph Curry when he visits Madison Square Garden.
on the hallowed Manhattan court, Curry is usually at his best at the Garden, where he has won 10 consecutive games. So Curry, as he usually does, headlined a deep and talented group of eight Warriors on Sunday night against a Knicks team expected to contend for a title. But unfortunately for Golden State, those eight players – who have combined for 28 total All-Star game honors – were the ones listed as “out” on a robust injury report for a team on a four-game losing skid. Curry spent time Sunday chopping it up with Hall of Famers Vince Carter, Carmelo Anthony and Tracy McGrady before the NBC pregame show, not shooting jumpers prior to the nationally televised game. Joining Curry in street clothes were Draymond Green, Al Horford, De’Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, Kristaps Porzingis and Curry’s brother, Seth. Melton and Porzingis are not injured, but are on a minutes restriction and are unable to play back-to-backs. The Warriors will play at Washington on Monday. Horford underwent an MRI, one that revealed a mild left calf strain. He will be re-evaluated in a week. Jimmy Butler, as has been the case since he tore his ACL in late January, did not make the trip. Two-way players Nate Williams, Malevy Leons and LJ Cryer were thrust into major roles, and former two-way point guard Pat Spencer has been asked to take on the starting spot in Curry’s place. Quinten Post was questionable with an ankle sprain, but joined the starting lineup. During his pregame press conference, Warriors coach Steve Kerr did not mince words about the state of his roster. “We’re obviously severely shorthanded,” Kerr said, before adding, “We’re going to go out, compete and try to accomplish the things we’ve been working hard on.” He is no superstar, but Yurtseven is a healthy 6-foot-11 center with three seasons of NBA experience, mostly with Miami. He is also a solid rebounder and, at a hefty 275 pounds, brings a bulky dynamic that the other posts on the roster do not.“I don’t know a whole lot about him, other than when we played against him years ago when he was in Miami, and he’s had some big games in the NBA,” Kerr said. “I had a chance to chat with him today and he’s a really nice guy, and he can clearly play.” On a team that has most of its players already injured or playing limited minutes in order to avoid injury, newfound responsibility has fallen upon a pair of 23-year-olds.Warriors instant analysis: Injury woes, losing skid continues against WolvesHow Azubuike’s date pitch turned into snack business at Warriors games Gui Santos and Brandin Podziemski entered New York City averaging more than 35 minutes per game in the month of March. Kerr said that he is not too worried about the workload placed upon them, given the duo’s young age, but it is a workload neither are accustomed to. But with the Warriors beginning a daunting trip that will see them play six games in nine days, and a precarious half-game lead on Portland for the West’s No. 9 seed, those two will need to produce if Golden State is to avoid sliding into the final play-in spot.Friday’s loss to the WolvesDear Abby: My remarriage sent my ex-wife over the edge$175 million project to reroute traffic between Oakland and Alameda beginsMiss Manners: The newsy family letter they sent me wasn't that at allAsking Eric: How blunt should I be about my friend's teenage son?
