On Saturday evening, the Golden State Warriors will be in Oklahoma City for a showdown with the Thunder.
The Warriors have had an up-and-down season, but are coming off a big win over Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets in Texas.
At the trade deadline, they made the move to acquire Kristaps Porzingis from the Atlanta Hawks, but he has only appeared in just one game in that period.

NBA Fans React
Here’s what fans were saying about the latest update:
@IcyDiggs: “Omg we’re getting healthy???”
@ogildelgado: “Every time Seth and Porzingis play for the Warriors, they should get a commemorative sports card. Since they’ll only play a few games together in Warriors uniforms, these cards will become collector’s items.”
@BooZilla2400: “All jokes aside is bro okay? It gotta be something”
@SleeperWarriors: “Porzingis and Seth Curry BOTH potentially back tomorrow night for the Warriors 👀”
@Sheridanblog: “Not as excited about KP because I don’t know what to expect from him moving forward, but it’s about time Seth Curry became available. If you saw what Cryer did last night, think of the impact a guy like Seth can have on this team 🙏”
In his one game for the franchise, Porzingis posted 12 points, one rebound, one assist and one block while shooting 5/9 from the field and 2/5 from three-point range in 17 minutes of playing time.
Danny Emerman of The San Francisco Standard wrote (on March 6): “Kristaps Porzingis and Seth Curry went through a spirited 2-on-2 game vs player dev staff before last night’s game in Houston. They’ve been upgraded to questionable for tomorrow in OKC. KP has played 17 mins since joining the Warriors. Curry hasn’t played since early December.”
