The 2022 NBA champions Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors started the NBA regular season with a win over the Los Angeles Lakers. They went on to lose their next game to the Denver Nuggets, giving them a record of 1-1. GSW will now face De’Aaron Fox and the Sacramento Kings for their third game this season.
The Kings had quite the NBA off-season. They made moves to acquire Malik Monk from the Los Angeles Lakers. They are in the middle of a rebuild and traded away a franchise cornerstone in Buddy Heild this summer. Sacramento has gotten off to a slow start this season and currently has a record of 0-2.
As both these teams are set to tip-off, one may wonder which players are injured and what is to be expected from this game.
