Warriors Host Lakers in Final Regular‑Season Showdown

Injury Reports

The Chase Center will be missing Stephen Curry, who is sidelined for knee‑injury management. Coach Steve Kerr also listed Al Horford (calf), Quinten Post (foot) and Will Richard (back) as out, with Gui Santos (pelvis) questionable. The Lakers enter the game without Luka Dončić (hamstring) and Austin Reaves (oblique), though LeBron James is cleared after a foot injury.

What’s at Stake

Both teams are fighting for playoff positioning. The Warriors, defending Western Conference champions, hope to solidify a top‑four seed, while the Lakers are trying to climb back into contention after a rocky stretch.

Key Players to Watch

LeBron James looks to reassert his dominance on the road, while Anthony Davis provides interior defense. For Golden State, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins must compensate for Curry’s absence.

The game, set for 10:00 a.m. PT on Thursday, April 9, is the regular‑season home finale for the Warriors and promises high‑stakes drama in a stadium that can be filled for as low as $140.
