Monday’s two technicals gave Draymond Green three for the season and 182 for his career, according to Elias Sports Bureau. This was Green’s first ejection of the season and the 23rd of his career. He had two ejections last season.
Shams Charania: Dalen Terry departs the Warriors' G League team in Santa Cruz to provide a wing addition to Oklahoma City. Per ESPN Research, the Thunder became the first team in 50 years to have three starters suffer injuries in the same game -- Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Cason Wallace on Oct. 25 -- and then all three miss the team's next 20 games or more.
Stephen Curry has 180 points through the first six games of a season, the most by a player aged 37 or older, passing Karl Malone (169 in 2000-01). He got there against the Suns.
Carson Breber: No 38-year-old point guard has ever even averaged 12 PPG in a season. 38-year-old Steph Curry is currently averaging 30.0 PPG (in 28.8 MPG) on 68.8% TS. He’s been a Top 3 player so far this season. Do not take for granted the absurdity of what he’s doing.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green was ejected in the third quarter of Monday’s 116-113 win over the Phoenix Suns after an incident involving the Suns’ Dillon Brooks and Khaman Maluach. With 10 minutes left in the quarter, Green collided with Maluach and went to the ground. Green got up and pushed the Phoenix big man to the floor, immediately getting whistled for a technical. Green then got into an argument with Brooks and was assessed another technical foul upon a video review, which also resulted in a technical on Brooks. “He lit a fire in all of us and we had to respond,” Warriors star Stephen Curry said after the game. “So I’m glad we did. It was a combination of that moment and we got to have our brother’s back when he defends us. But it was also this is one of those games, most of the guys are on a back to back. Phoenix had been off for a couple days … definitely that moment kept us in the moment.”

Anthony Slater: Brandon Williams was out pregame testing his quad contusion briefly. Just shook his head no to the Warriors training staff and went to the locker room. He’s been listed as questionable after getting banged up last night in strong 17-point performance.
NBA Communications: Other nominees... West: Darius Acuff Jr. (SAC), Stephen Curry (GSW), Luka Dončić (LAL) and Cooper Flagg (DAL) East: Giannis Antetokounmpo (MIA), Scottie Barnes (TOR), Tyrese Maxey (PHI) and Evan Mobley (CLE)
Anthony Slater: The Warriors will get Steph Curry and Draymond Green back tonight vs Suns. Al Horford is resting on second night of back-to-back. Gui Santos out. Brandon Williams questionable with a quad contusion. Phoenix has main cogs available besides Mark Williams.
The latest chapter of Yaxel Lendeborg's explosion onto the NBA scene came in Sunday night's 124-112 win over the LA Clippers. Lendeborg made 13 of 19 shots, including six 3-pointers, and finished with 37 points, the most for a Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry in 2010. On the front end of a back-to-back, the Warriors opted to rest Curry and Draymond Green, saving the duo for Monday night against the Phoenix Suns while clearing the Sunday runway for Lendeborg. "Whenever Steph's not in the game, it's my opportunity to try to be the leader, be the main guy on the team," Lendeborg said.
Yaxel Lendeborg already has scoring nights of 26, 26, 31 and 37. He's averaging 22.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists, generating legitimate early buzz for Rookie of the Year. "One thing I'm proud of myself is my 3-point shot diet," Lendeborg said. "Last year, if I would've missed like three 3s, I'm never shooting another one in the game. In Denver, I started off 0-for-5 and I kept shooting."

What Natalie Nakase pulled off is even more impressive. Lacob made the same five-year declaration when the Bay Area was awarded an expansion WNBA team, but no team in any North American major sport had ever won a title by its second season. “We’re so excited for the Valkyries for Natalie, for everybody involved,” Steve Kerr said. “It’s an incredible turnaround from just having an expansion team without a name two years ago to within two years building this brand and winning a title, just remarkable.”
Danny Emerman: Gui Santos, who’s been dealing with knee tendinitis, expected to play tonight vs Clippers. Warriors without Steph Curry and Draymond Green on the first leg of back-to-back.
Luka Doncic might never live down what Steph Curry did to him last night. Curry broke Doncic’s ankles and sent him sprawling to the ground before draining a three-pointer during the Golden State Warriors’ 112-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Plenty of people have trolled Dončić about this. But an Instagram post Jimmy Butler made on Saturday takes the cake. Butler posted an AI video where Curry’s likeness is Bruce Leroy (played by Taimak) in the 1985 martial arts film The Last Dragon. Curry is then asked, “Alright Leroy, who’s the one-and-only Master?” and responds, “I am!”
Elly De La Cruz celebrates Stephen Curry crossing up Luka Doncic in Warriors' win over Lakers Dodgers fans would love having Elly De La Cruz in their infield. That is, unless they’re also Lakers fans. De La Cruz posted multiple clips celebrating the Warriors’ win over the Lakers to his Instagram Story. Specifically, the 24-year-old was posting about when Steph Curry crossed up Luka Doncic, causing the Lakers star guard to fall. De La Cruz has been outspoken about his Curry admiration, saying multiple times over the years that Curry is his favorite NBA player.
