First Stephen Curry, now Damion Lee.
On Tuesday, Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports reported that Warriors third-year man Damion Lee has suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right hand and will be out of the lineup for the Dubs for at least the next two weeks.
In the early goings of the season, Lee has averaged 10 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game for the Warriors in 21.9 minutes per contest, so his loss will be felt.
The unfortunate news comes shortly after Stephen Curry also fractured a bone in his hand. Curry, however, required surgery and, as a result, will be out until at least February. Fortunately, Lee’s injury doesn’t seem to be nearly as serious.
In the early goings of the season, Steve Kerr has seemingly been playing musical chairs with his bench. Draymond Green, D’Angelo Russell and Eric Paschall have each missed time, and obviously, Curry is out for the foreseeable future.
On Monday night, Golden State suffered its fourth consecutive loss and entered play on November 12 with the league’s worst record. To make matters even worse, they have a date with the Los Angeles Lakers—owners of the league’s second best record—on Wednesday.
With Green rejoining the lineup on Monday, reinforcements have arrived, but now, Kerr’s team has one less body to turn to.
