Spurs' Aldridge To Miss Warriors Game, Out Indefinitely With Heart Arrhythmia

... due to an occurrence of a minor heart arrhythmia, the San Antonio Spurs announced in a Tweet Saturday. La Marcus Aldridge will be out for an indefinite period due to an occurrence of a minor heart arrhythmia. __link__/s 0 D 2 Enc 6 RO. — San Antonio Spurs (@spurs) March 11, 2017. (Original Story). The San Antonio Spurs will be without All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard when they host the Golden State Warriors in Saturday night's nationally televised game that no longer has the feeling of a showdown. The MVP candidate entered the NBA's concussion protocol after taking an elbow in the head Thursday and will sit out the contest while Golden State will rest four of its key players in the contest between the two teams with the best records in the NBA. The Warriors remain without All-Star forward Kevin Durant (knee) but coach Steve Kerr has also decided to rest All-Star guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, All-Star power forward Draymond Green and reserve swingman Andre Iguodala against San Antonio. Golden State is suffering through its worst stretch during Kerr's tenure ...

Warriors Could Follow Storm Model To Find Long-term Success

... It's a model that relies on the club having a great recruitment and development programmes and given the talent in New Zealand, it's certainly something the Warriors could copy, especially with someone like Tony Iro looking after this area for them. However, fans would have to get used to the best young players eventually being picked off by rival clubs. Foran's delay means he'll have to sign a long-term deal with whichever club he goes to. It's been reported that his contract was $5 million over four years at the Eels. He isn't getting paid anything like that at the Warriors. If all goes well though, he'll be wanting what he's worth in 2018. But if he goes to the market in July looking for a one-year contract he'll find that most clubs have already allocated a lot of where their money will go for 2018. So Foran will have to sign a multi-year deal, with the contract backloaded, giving his new club a season to offload other well-paid players. But there is another issue affecting the signing of players at all 16 NRL ...

Spurs' Kawhi Leonard Out For Saturday Vs. Warriors After Entering Concussion Protocol

... return. on You Tube. Leonard is in the midst of an incredible run - he had scored 30 or more points in four straight games before leaving Thursday with the injury - and has placed himself right in the middle of the MVP conversation. This kind of puts a damper on what was supposed to be one of the marquee games of the NBA season, since neither Leonard nor Golden State star Kevin Durant will be playing. It’s good news for the Warriors however, who have struggled to find their rhythm since Durant’s injury on Feb. 28. Golden State needs every win it can get down the stretch - especially against San Antonio - as both teams fight for the No. 1 seed in the West. Normally the difference between the No. 1 and No. 2 seed isn’t that great, but this year is different. Whichever team earns the top seed will earn a first-round date with either the Nuggets , Timberwolves , Mavericks or Pelicans - all teams with records well below.500. The No. 2 seed will draw the No. 7 ...

Warriors Address Issues Regarding Signing Of Matt Barnes

... have on their team and hate to play against. “A big part of our culture is unity, cohesiveness, selflessness — and Matt’s only going to add to that,” Kerr said. “He has a great heart. He’s had some legal issues and we’ll let the legal situation play out.”. Kerr also played in the league, which gives him insight into how teams work. He was a squeaky-clean individual on high-character championship teams, but he had plenty of teammates who were different. “As a player, I was in great situations where we had tremendous character within the group to start,” Kerr said. “To be honest, we added guys all the time that had some issues.”. Kerr didn’t name specific players, but he doesn’t have to. You have to look only at his playing history to see that he knows how good teams can absorb players who come with questionable reputations. The Chicago Bulls added Dennis Rodman and won three straight championships. The San Antonio Spurs ...

Wolves Beat Weary Warriors; Kerr To Rest Steph, Klay, Dray, Andre Against Spurs

... injured star Kevin Durant. Curry scored 26 points, but was just 10 for 27 from the field and 1 for 8 from 3-point range. And he missed an 18-footer in the closing seconds that would have won the game. Wiggins missed a pair of free throws with 29 seconds left that would have given the Wolves a three-point lead. After Curry hit a floater for a 102-101 Golden State lead, Wiggins responded by calmly knocking down two in a row. “I missed two but I made the two most important ones of the night,” Wiggins said. Before a two-game skid against Washington and Chicago last week, the Warriors had gone a league-record 146 straight regular-season games without consecutive losses. Their next streak lasted just two. In his last 13 games, Curry was shooting 29.7 percent from 3-point range and he missed his first four from long range on Friday night. Three of them were wide open, catch-and-shoot looks that didn’t go down and the other was one of his patented crossover-stepbacks that glanced off the rim. His first 3 of the night splashed through with ...

Owen Jones Quits Social Media, Blaming 'frothing Keyboard Warriors

... the Copeland by election in February, becoming the first opposition party to lose a seat to the government since 1982, Mr Jones appeared to join calls for Mr Corbyn to stand down as leader. Writing in the Guardian the day after the results, Mr Jones said: "If Corbyn decides he is unable to confront the multiple existential crises enveloping Labour, then an agreement should be struck where he can stand down in exchange for the guarantee of an MP from the new generation [of Labour MPs].". "Both Corbyn and the parliamentary Labour party. should be aware that history is a savage judge". It has been reported that Mr Jones favours Clive Lewis, the former shadow Business Secretary, to be the new leader. Owen Jones 'dump Corbyn' video.

... flights over that span. The Warriors lost in Minneapolis on Friday night and didn’t arrive in San Antonio until 3 a.m. “It’s my call, and it’s the right thing to do in terms of the way the season is playing out and the way the minutes have gone and KD’s injury,” Kerr said, referencing the knee injury suffered earlier this month by Kevin Durant. “It’s the right thing to do, so we’re doing it.”. Iguodala was asked Friday night whether he knew he would be sitting out the Spurs game. “Nope, no clue,” he said. “I do what master say.”. After his comments were taken as a shot toward Kerr, Iguodala clarified them by telling ESPN that he and his coach “are cool” and that he was only referencing a joke going around the Warriors’ locker room. Vegas has set the Warriors as 13.5-point underdogs to San Antonio, and Sports Insights says it’s their first game getting double-digit points since April 2, 2014, against the Spurs (Golden State lost that one by 21).
