Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Reveals Plan to Fill Chris Paul’s Void
Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Reveals Plan
to Fill Chris Paul’s Void After Chris Paul suffered a fractured left
hand during Friday, January 5, at Chase
Center, the Golden State Warriors had to
endure yet another devastating blow.
The squad had just defeated the Detroit
Pistons, the weakest team in the NBA, 113-109.
In response to Paul’s unfortunate injury,
Warriors coach Steve Kerr told reporters,
“That’s tough.” “I’m so sorry for Chris. I
suppose he has undergone a few hand
surgery in the past. However, it might
have been otherwise. I was worried right
away as I was holding it. I just got off the
floor and heard the news. I’m so sad for
Chris, and I know that guys will rise to
the occasion and be prepared to play.
Without him, we must continue to hold down the fort.
It will be the fifth hand surgery for the
38-year-old Paul in his NBA career. The
timetable for his return is still unknown.
About getting through the season
without Paul, Kerr remarked, “It’s going
to be tough.” “Chris is a legendary player
who seamlessly integrated into our team.
He has not only eased the workload for
Steph Curry but has also taken on a
leadership role in our second unit, which
has proven to be a valuable asset for us
this season. He will therefore be missed in both lineups.
Collective Effort
Without the 12-time NBA All-Star guard,
Kerr plans to spread out his playing time
to rookie Brandin Podziemski, Corey
Joseph and Moses Moody.
“We won’t replace all those minutes with
one guy,” Kerr said. “We’ll probably spread them out.”
Along with 8.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and
27.6 minutes of play this season, Paul
leads the Warriors in assists (7.2) and
steals (1.1). He has the fewest turnovers
per game among Warriors players who
play more than 20 minutes—1.2.
