Gary Payton II occasionally finds himself flashing back to his long-ago days at Spring Valley High School in Las Vegas, the first time he regularly handled the duties of a power forward more than those of a guard.

Green remains a critical part of the Warriors' success, especially more on offense this season as a facilitator.

De'Aaron Fox reportedly hitting the open market opens up significant opportunities for several blockbuster deals to close before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline.

Marc Stein: The Warriors announce that Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is out for at least two more weeks while Draymond Green (calf) is now regarded as day-to-day.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will miss at least a week with a strained left calf. The Warriors said Monday that an MRI determined that Green has only a minor strain and he will be re-evaluated in one week. Green got hurt in the first quarter of a win over Washington on Saturday night.

Steph Curry dropped 17 points in the second half and made key plays down the stretch. Andrew Wiggins dropped a team-high 27 points, including five 3-pointers. Kevon Looney matched his regular season career-high with 18 points and Gary Payton II (15 points, nine rebounds) stamped the game with a vicious slam dunk with under a minute left.

Golden State’s latest wrinkle is inserting two-way center Quinten Post into the starting-five, taking the place of Trayce Jackson-Davis. Post, who has impressed in his first four games in an NBA rotation, gives the Warriors a new look as a floor-spacing center.

As the clock ticks toward the deadline, the Warriors have floated a protected first-rounder as a sweetener in potential deals.

The Golden State Warriors’ 116-109 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder was all about coach Steve Kerr’s trusted veterans.

With eight days remaining before the NBA trade deadline, the Warriors’ shot callers are in the final stages of assessing whether they have the resources and audacity needed to deal their way into the same neighborhood as the Western Conference elite.

Bilal Coulibaly will again play on NBA All-Star Weekend, and rookie Alex Sarr and Bub Carrington will join him in San Francisco.
